QTP - Capturing tool tips of images
2008-06-01 13:27:00 In my previous post (QTP - How to capture tool tip?) I shown an example on capturing tool tip of Web page link.That solution uses FireEvent("onmouseover") and GetROProperty("text") to get tool tip of a link.Now, I'm going to show how to show how to capture tool tips of images located on a Web page.Actually, the solution is simple.To capture a tool tip of an image, we can get value of "alt" Run-time Object property with GetROProperty("alt") function:Browser("brw").Page("pg").GetROP roperty("alt")Let's verify this code in practice. For example, let's check tooltips from Wikipedia Main page:I've prepared QTP script, which gets all image from this page and checks their tooltips ("alt" property):Dim descImage, listImages , attrAltText, attrSrcTextBrowser("Main Page - Wikipedia,").SyncBrowser("Main Page - Wikipedia,").Page("Main Page - Wikipedia,").Sync' Create description for all images on a Web page.' For that we use "html tag" property and its value "IMG"Set descImage = Description... More About: Tips , Tool , Basics , Automated testing
How to save parameter value to other parameter in LoadRunner?

OK, there is a simple solution.To save parameter value to other parameter you have to:Evaluate value of initial parameterUse lr_eval_string LoadRunner function.Save the evaluated string to a second parameterUse lr_save_string LoadRunner function.Please, check the following code:// save string value to initial parameterlr_save_string("some string value", "prmStr1");lr_output_message(lr_eval_stri ng("Value of prmStr1: {prmStr1}"));// save the evaluated value to second parameterlr_save_string(lr_eval_string("{ prmStr1}"), "prmStr2");lr_output_message(lr_eval_stri ng("Value of prmStr2: {prmStr2}"));Let's execute this code and check the result:(click the image to enlarge it)As you can see, both parameters (prmStr1 & prmStr2) have the same values - "some string value".So, we assigned the parameter value to other parameter successfully.Related articles:How to perform basic operations on LoadRunner p...

How to get unique file name in LoadRunner?
2008-05-31 21:45:00 In my previous Load Runner VIDEO post, I shown and explained how to record PDF file saving in LoadRunner.The provided code works correctly in LoadRunner VuGen or in LoadRunner Controller for one concurrent user. Here it is://Truncate to zero length or create file for writing.fp = fopen("c:\temp\_file.pdf","wb");//Process the data ... //Write the data to an output file.fwrite(bufData, nSize, 1, fp);If you try to run this code with several concurrent users, all of them will try to create the same file and write to it. As a result, this will led to the error.How to resolve this problem?Each user has to get unique file name and create a file with the unique name .Now, I'm going to show - how to generate unique file name in LoadRunner.The first step is to get a timestamp as a part of file name.The timestamp consists of:date (month, day, year)time (hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)You can use the following simple code to get a full timestamp without milliseconds:lr_save_datetime("...

LoadRunner regular expressions
2008-04-15 06:10:00 I have a real challenge for Load Runner specialists, professionals, and gurus.I would like to start new public investigation on LoadRunner regexp (regular expressions).The reward is $52.25.As you know, LoadRunner supports limited and 'light' regular expressions. These are special text flags of web_reg_save_param function to support 'light' LoadRunner regular expressions:/DIG interprets the pound sign (#) as a wildcard for a single digit.For example, "te##xt" matches for "te23xt", and doesn't match for "text" and "te234xt"./ALNUM interprets the caret sign (^) as a wildcard for a single US?ASCII alphanumeric character.There are three syntaxes: ALNUMIC to ignore case, ALNUMLC to match only lower case, and ALNUMUC to match only upper case.For example, with ALNUMLC flag enabled, "te^^xt" matches for "tenext", and doesn't match for "teNext" and "teneoxt".The task is simple:How to use real regular expressions in LoadRunner with C language?Note: you can use real regexps with VBScript o...
