UFT 12.01 | QTP | Using Virtual Objects Video Lecture | Automation Training with HPE Unified Functional Testing 12.0 - Software Testing

hello everyone
welcome to the video series on UFT
automation in this video we will learn
virtual objects quick little concepts on
virtual objects number one you manually
create these objects number two these
objects are not stored in the object
repository that's one thing another
thing the third thing is that you know
they are actually located on the file
system at this location so this is your
installation folder for U of T so inside
that there's a phone call Det and then
vo template that's where and that's a
location for the virtual objects so
before I jump into and you know you know
start creating all these virtual objects
let me demonstrate for you what happens
when you ft does not recognize objects I
mean you will know you may run into such
situations where you know you would see
it as a regular button or a link or a
text box but you have T for whatever
reason you know it's not able to
recognize it so that's when you know
these virtual objects come real handy so
here our you know what I'm going to do
is I'm going to do a basic recording and
the goal is to you know draw a red line
draw a green line and draw a blue line
that's how cool okay you know you know M
is pain now as we already know that you
know the drawing requires analog
recording so we'll mix analog recording
into this whole thing and you know
understand virtual objects as well so
let me demonstrate this by regular
recording so by default it's you know
black line to begin with I'm going to
click on red there's nothing happening
and no recording oh I'm sorry I haven't
started the recording yet let me clear
this out hit the record button
so it's a regular recording click down
black clicked on red clicked on green
clicked on the blue color so have four
lines I want to stop it as you already
noticed as I was drawing DFT was not
recording anything however it did record
some clicks and as you can see you know
it did not realize a cognizer object
it's saying that dot click and ski you
know it's not it's using coordinates
primarily right it's not your goodness
in the object so within that object it's
clicking at certain you know coordinate
location so that's not that's what
happens when you Fe does not recognize
objects so let me comment these lines
down so now what I lose ah you know
create virtual objects for you know or
three colors red green and blue and then
I'll mix analog into it and then we'll
we all I'll demonstrate for you how we
can you know actually draw and pick
colors properly so let me first go ahead
and create virtual objects it's to under
tools you have virtual objects and I'll
pick virtual object manager so right now
I don't have any virtual objects in the
system new and that should take me to
this screen click Next and I want to
treat like a button because I'm clicking
at it do next and I need to mark the
object here I'm gonna mark the red one
so I'm holding down the left button of
the mouse and drying it and release it
so it marked that area next use parent
and I need to give a name button
underscore
so it's going to that collection do one
more next object as button mark this
time green
we score green and I'll send it to the
same collection so when it's in the same
collection they all decide their next
object has button marked and barred the
blue color now
so now the vivo collection Xero has all
three buttons recorded virtual objects
for blue green and red let me click OK
now let me do the recording clear this
out okay now what I lose a lot use
analog recording you know start clicking
those colors and you know I'll start
drawing lines so what I lose I lose
record and now I'm gonna click the red
color draw a line and for when I draw a
line there's no recording there you can
see it's not generating any script click
the green color and look there is a line
20 there I'll click the blue color line
21 there and draw the line and stopping
so now you know as you can see there's a
button underscore red underscore 2 it's
giving me underscore 2 because I had you
know an object and what should object
with that name before that's why he said
underscore 2 now so what it did was he
you know it tracked you know it when I
clicked on the color it recognized it
and it used virtual button you will see
word show all button or watch or
something virtual on this button it did
it quick but it did not track what do
you say the the drawing or the lines on
the MS paint because you know the normal
recording will not recognize it so this
time now what we will do is now that we
can click those colors you'll go back
and what we'll do is we just need to
insert analog recording you know after
each you know after picking each color
so after picking the red I wanted an
analog recording record switch to analog
and once you do that you should get this
prompt and then use this button to you
know kind of target this window
start unlock record what a loser you
know I will you know draw a line and
it's black in color but it's gonna be a
little bit different then what I'll do
is I will draw another line I'll draw
another line oh this will not work but
no this will not work actually I mean
stop it
because all three lines will be treated
as one tracking so it track it tracks
all three lines as one so when you
execute this when this line gets
executed it will actually draw all three
lines so you see three lines of red okay
we'll do another and this time what
we'll do is we'll put vertical lines on
the left-hand side and their vertical
lines on the right-hand side okay
so I'm going to line 24 so after picking
the green color and even though it's
black you know you will see what I mean
by that you'll notice the color change
when you actually run the whole script
so recording again and pick analog pick
this window start again you're going to
draw this it's going to be black line
let me go ahead and stop it so this
would be track nine probably track nine
and now I'll do another analogs
recording after the blue button record
analog
pick this window start okay stop
now let's Anna like weakly analyze the
script and then we will run it so you
know I know that it was all black lines
when we were recording but effect is
gonna be little bit different because
according to the script we are picking
or selecting or I mean to say clicking
the red color and we are exerting this
track eight then green color track nine
which would be vertical on the left and
the blue color and then track 10 which
would be the vertical lines on the right
so let's go ahead and run it so it's a
combination of using virtual objects and
the analog recording
pick the green on the left-hand side and
then we'll pick the blue color
okay so recording this time so as you
have seen now the colors are are you
know we we kind of created three virtual
objects one for red one for green
immortal blue and then we used analog
recording to draw the lines so it could
be kind of combined both because we
needed given the situation we needed
that but you know maybe if you're using
a web-based application or having this
based application you may not have to
deal with analog recording we just have
to create virtual objects and use it
okay so that's it about virtual objects
and you know you can definitely create
virtual objects within your web based or
you know you know windows-based
applications as well well thank you very
much for watching this video I will see
you in the next
thank you for watching this video
thank you
