Can we use QTP Framework for TestComplete

Hi,



     I am from CoE i have recommended client for TestComple since the Application is .Net based and WPF objects.Client is satisfied with POC and has asked for a Framework. I don't have a Framework as such and i want to know can i use QTP Keyword Driven Framework for Test Complete? If yes can you guide me on the changes of Framework if any.





Thanks

  • Hi Thrilok,



    Although TestComplete also supports VBScript for scripting (among other languages), QTP tests are generally incompatible with TestComplete because of differences in the test object model, object identification, keyword testing operations, scripting objects, and so on. So you'll need to recreate your QTP framework in TestComplete using the appropriate TestComplete objects, operations, keywords, etc.



    For a start in converting your framework to TestComplete, you can install TestComplete on the same machine as QTP and run your QTP test, at the same time recording it with TestComplete. The resulting recording would probably require some manual polishing afterwards, but nevertheless it can be a good starting point and help you get the idea of how automation can be done with TestComplete.



    Please note that TestComplete also supports keyword testing. You can create keyword tests using recording or manually by adding appropriate operation keywords to your test. For some keyword testing demos, check out our video lessons.
