Recording a Test Case

Quick Test Professional, Software Testing Tutorial / By
In the recording mode, QTP captures all the operations performed on the GUI. You need to work with the application in the usual way and record all the actions. While recording a Test case, QTP captures all the images of various actions. It then generates the test script for the actions performed in VBScriptlanguage.
There are three modes of recording a test case:
  • Normal recording mode: Default mode of recording.
  • Analog recording mode: this mode is used when exact mouse positions or keystrokes play an important role in recording.
  • Low level recording mode: This mode of recording enables you to record on the objects even if Quick test professional fails to identify the object.
