Associating Function Libraries with QTP Actions and the different ways to do it.

What is Associating Function Libraries ?

Associating means a way of connecting Function Libraries with the QTP Actions.

Why should we Associate Function Libraries ?

Normally while we write code , we could also write it in Actions , but it is best practise to write it in Function Libraries as we can Load it whenever necessary or Unload it whenever we want , but this cannot be done in Actions

Because , a single action can contain n number of Function Libraries associated with it , but Action will be only 1.

Ways to Associate/Disassociate Function Libraries
There are 2 ways

Other than Runtime:
1) Right clicking in Function Library Tab
2) File Settings

At Runtime:
1) LoadFunctionLibrary

Lets see in detail with screenshots

1) Right clicking in Function Library Tab

2) File Settings

At Runtime:
1) Using LoadFunctionLibrary Keyword in Action

Exporting and Importing Test using QTP/UFT

Now , let us see how we can Export or Import Tests using QTP/UFT.At times , maybe the Client may ask you to share the Test that you have created or you need to share the entire Script in other machine.Well ,you can share the codes by pasting it in a notepad , but what about the Object Repository and other stuffs.

Hmm , even if you give them your files , again he need to copy those and paste it in QTP.If its less then its ok , but when the data is large , this is not a easy task.

Therefore , we can use the QTP inbuilt mechanism to Export the Entire Test.Basically what this does is , its packs all the Test folder and its neccesery packages and Zips it into a Zip Folder, which you can send it to the person required.

After extracting the Zip file , the folder would contain Action0,Action1 Folders and Watches (no no not the watch in your wrist,but QTP watches) and other packages for smooth running.

Below are the steps for Exporting a Test.

QTP ->File -> Export Test

Let us see about Importing Test in next post.
