Various Utility Statements

Guys,

Here some useful utility statement m going to cover.

Sr No	Utility Statement	Description	Example
1	DescribeResult Statement	DescribeResult returns a text description of the specified error code.	Browser("mybrowser").Page("mypage").Image("myimage").Click 23, 47 errX = GetLastError print (DescribeResult(errX))
2	ExecuteFile Statement	ExecuteFile Statement is used to execute the VBScript statements in the specified file. It is an alternative of associating a file to your test. Once the file runs, the definitions (functions, subroutines, classes, etc.) in the file are available from the global scope of the action's script Please note that if are using ExecuteFile instead of associating it with test, you cannot debug a file/using breakpoints.	ExecuteFile "C:\abc\MyFunctionLib.vbs"
3	ExitAction Statement	ExitAction simply exits from the current running action. If you use ExitAction statement in One_Action, it will immediately exit from this action and your next action will start executing	Print "Before Exit" ExitAction 'without any spaces Print "After Exit"
4	ExitActionIteration Statement	Suppose you are set to run two iteration of each action in the test, by providing two rows of data in datatable. Now you want to exit current iteration if data in the table is not matching or something like that. We can do it using ExitActionIteration. Its similar to ExitAction, only difference is that it exits the current iteration only, not action	empName = DataTable("Name", dtLocalSheet) If empName = "Abhikansh" Then ExitActionIteration("exit iteration")
5	ExitComponent Statement	ExitComponent statement is used in Business Process Testing (BPT) using Quality Center(QC). It exits the current component run. - If the component is not part of a component group, then any remaining component iterations are skipped and the run proceeds to the next component in the test. - If the component is part of a component group, then the entire component group is skipped and the run proceeds to the next component after the component group. - The pass or fail status of the component remains as it was in the step prior to the ExitComponent statement
6	ExitComponentIteration Statement	ExitComponentIteration is similar to ExitComponent, only difference is that it exits the current iteration only, not component.
7	ExitTest Statement	ExitTest exits from current test without proceeding to the next actions. The execution will be stopped from the point you use ExitTest statement.
8	ExitTestIteration Statement	ExitTestIteration Statement exits the current iteration of the QuickTest test or Quality Center business process test and proceeds to the next iteration, or exits the test run if there are no additional run-time parameter iterations. The pass or fail status of the test iteration remains as it was in the step prior to the ExitTestIteration statement
9	GetLastError Statement	GetLastError returns the error code of the last/most recent error. It is used with the DescribeResult Statement	Browser("mybrowser").Page("mypage").Image("myimage").Click 23, 47 errX = GetLastError print (DescribeResult(errX))
10	InvokeApplication Statement	InvokeApplication is used to invoke an executable application i.e. '.exe' files	InvokeApplication "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
11	ManualStep Statement
12	Print Statement	Print is very useful and simple to use statement, generally used in place of 'msgbox'. It displays information in the QuickTest Print Log window during the run session. The log window remains open until you close it manually	Print "This is an example" Print Browser("MyBro").GetROProperty("title")
13	RegisterUserFunc Statement	Using RegisterUserFunc, you can add a new method or can override the existing method of any test object class. For example, 'Set' is a method of WebEdit class, which sets value in the edit box. Using RegisterUserFunc, you can change the behaviour of this method or you can add new method to WebEdit class 1.Registered method applies only to the test or library file in which you register it. 2. It is applicable to current run session only. 3. QuickTest clears all function registrations at the beginning of each run session.	Function NewSet (obj, val)  Dim MyWord  MyWord = UCase(val)   ' Returns val in upper case  MySet=obj.Set(val) End Function RegisterUserFunc "WebEdit", "Set", "NewSet" Browser("MyBro").Page("MyPage").WebEdit("name").Set "abhikansh" UnRegisterUserFunc "WebEdit", "Set"
14	RunAction Statement	The RunAction statement runs the specified action (if associated with your test). If you want to run external action, which is not associated with your test, then you have to use (Insert > Call to Action) or (Insert > Copy of Action) options from QTP menu.	RunAction "Action2", oneIteration
15	SetLastError Statement	Inserts a VBScript error into the test script	SetLastError(7)
16	UnregisterUserFunc Statement	instructs QuickTests to stop using the current registration of the method
17	Wait Statement	Wait is one of the most commonly used utility statement. Used for a pause of specified seconds, during a run session	Wait(10)
