UFT | QTP | Using Reporter Class - Part 2 Video Lecture | Automation Training with HPE Unified Functional Testing 12.0 - Software Testing

hello everyone welcome to the video
series on EFT automation this is the
part two of the reporter class video in
the first video I introduced you to the
reporter events and how we can use you
know the even types we also looked at
the event note and we also looked at the
run status however you know that
introductory video on the reporter class
was very basic we were not using any
application where I was just
demonstrating the use of the reporter
class in this video which is part two of
that concept we will use an existing
script that logs into our sample
application books at reservation and
exits will use that script and then
we'll incorporate this report a class
and we'll introduce some custom you know
messages into all round results let me
go ahead and open a sample script here
so I have a sample script let me go
ahead and run this one just to make sure
that okay let's make sure that it runs
first
probably this will end up in there with
an error that have an issue with sample
apps
okay that's fine so let us close this
window let's go to view run results just
to see the last one okay okay okay let's
start introducing some custom messages
into the round results let's say you
know let me go ahead and very first one
I'll say reporter dot this a reporter
event will say first we'll start with a
note note here this is the sample test
and then the end of so here this is
where we click the login button I mean
so okay button on the login screen so
report a dot water event and we will say
just for the this is primarily not
pass/fail it's pretty much like a node
but I'll say it done step name see after
login okay button
description
sample in details and here with you can
put an image if you want but I'll just
ignore it for a minute and at the end we
can add one sample logo we have you can
introduce that there get finished let us
go into the run results
so we had that in our login summary I
mean the login action so it should be
somewhere here so we had here okay
button here that's an after login okey a
button so I had that step in there that
line so that added this thing this entry
into the round results and you know it's
coming from our actual description and
again you know would what is the primary
need for this and why do we need to do
that I mean this you would do when you
have the huge test cases some test cases
run for hours you know depending on the
functionality and you know you want to
introduce things like this so that you
know exactly what's happening in this
message could be you know sometimes be
customized completely I mean it could be
depending on the prior events say for
example let's say for example here
you're logging in with Mercury has user
ID and password you know you could
actually say because this is mercury you
can actually say programmatically read
data out of the screen and then
introduce the data as you know into this
report as well I mean it's the round
results so I mean the need it depends on
you know some some you might have a
requirement where they ask you to you
know insert specific details into the
round results and as you know it comes
to the default round results which is
pretty standard way of capturing things
but if they want any kind of
customization reducing your own logic
into it and this is the way to go and it
when you add some relevant information
based on your business needs it kind of
makes more sense and say let me see
another example here make reservations
maybe I can add a note as well
okay let's go to the very first action
which is in it and I will introduce a
note here or a note
reporter dot report note and I'll say
this is a note from you need action copy
that
now go to login and I already have it
here this is login action
I'll go to make reservation and do the
same thing here and you might be
thinking why would we do all this way
what is the need what is the business
need for adding in note there I mean
this is primarily for tracking not
tracking but you know kind of making a
note of what's happening and this could
be a conditional report note say for
example if you're looking for hundred
records in the database but you only
have ninety-eight but you still want to
proceed maybe you can add a note here
saying that hey you know if you have the
phone records less than hundred then
you'll log this into the note and you
would actually spell out the number of
records that you found in the note
itself so let's see let's run this and
see the impact of this
okay it's finished let us take a look at
that round results and we know the note
use it summary level me max yes here
look at these multiple lines this is a
note from interaction login action make
reservation action or exit action so
it's literally you know every time it
encounters that report note line he
added a line of four notes here so what
is the what is happening here so look at
it's an executed summary so if you were
to send you know a status to your
manager all you have to do is take a
screenshot of this and send it to your
manager it's simple right and moreover
you know if you have some you know
meaningful notes it enhances your report
that's not the way right so there are a
few things about you know real-time
things about adding notes report using
report notes in your scripting or in
your test cases and a couple of things
or while you're on the screen you can
export this report here file and you
have an option you know when you export
you know you have few options whether
it's all loads or short or more details
when you say export you killed you know
you have three options HTML dark and PDF
let's say you do PDF and it's zero three
zero zero 300 parameters and putting on
the desktop or maybe I like to put on
why dry it's not why actually k ya
Kate's and it will try save it there and
let me open that try
so here you go that I have the PDF
report here let me open that up so if
you look at it you know it pretty much
captured everything in there into our
PDF document okay that has gotten
closest you can export HTML and Word
document as well you have options so
let's go back to the script and let's
still go back to login so I mean so
that's how you use you know you might
want to go back and watch part 1 of this
video where it goes into every option
but this is a quick intro into how you
can use in your actual script as well
again you know the need and why and all
that will you know come from your
business need depending on the
application you're testing and the
different things that your script does
and you might want a lot of few things
depending on the need actually you know
and you will figure that out when you
actually test the application you know
say for example if I'm doing online
banking and say you know I'm trying to
make a transfer and it if it is a real
time transfer when I do a real time
transfer I need to have couple other
things available to me in the backend
meaning my mainframe or my ears for 400
has to be online what if it is not
available and you're trying to make a
transfer and you know you know it let's
say for the real time it's failing and
if we fail then we can go back and check
you know maybe make a different call and
see if face.if s100 our mainframe is
available or not if they're not
available then we can write and know to
those you know in to your run results
saying that is phone it was not
available at the time of transfer and
then you can proceed with the rest of
your test case so that is how you would
enhance your front results okay that's a
quick tip or real-time tip well I hope
you all enjoyed the reporter class but
you know I would highly encourage you to
you know kind of play with it it it does
help or enhance the scripts and moreover
if this is one of those things people
actually ask and interview as well and
it does you know improve in terms of
presentation when I say presentation
number one presenting yourself to you
know the person who's interviewing you
number two as a part of the team you can
present this as a very good enhancement
to your scripts well that's it about the
reporter class and you know I will see
you in the next video
thank you for watching this video
thank you
