I've been taking a quick look at QTP with one of our test team.
We've figured out some basics like recording a test, capturing text using output values, putting in check points, etc.
However, I can't figure out how to do the following...
We have a web form which a user fills in and submits. This will create an item and assign it an ID in the database. We can capture this ID.
A subsequent page then shows a list of all items, with a link available to open a specific item. This is a simple hyperlink on a web page.
How do I:
Check that a link exists on the page with the ID assigned from the creation step?
Click that link?
I'm sure that this must be possible, but I've been struggling grokking the tool so far, so this is a shameless cry for help to save me from having to study the docs.
Thanks.
Quickly look on Web GUI recognition principles in QTP. Get to the descriptive programming part.
Find Help for Link object in QTP.
Define your target Link object using descriptive programming.
It should be something like
Set objTargetLink = Browser("title:=...").Page("title:=...").Frame("title:=...").Link("id:=target_id")
Use
boolRC = objTargetLink.Exist(0)
To check if your link exists.
Use
sURL = objTargetLink.GetTOProperty("url")
to retrieve the actual url. You may get other properties the same way.
Use objTargetLink.Click to click on the link.
PS. Functional Test Automation is something different, though.
Ask your testing team to read about automation frameworks and automation requirements.
I have some stuff on my blog.

There's a lot of scripting and programming I want to learn in the future, but for now, I just would like to make this script that seems like it should be very simple. I've searched and there are so many options and tutorials for very powerful tools, that seem to require prerequisite knowledge that I would also have to learn. I would just like the simplest/quickest method that I can use to help me automate the following:
I have hundreds of links leading to a website search on an Excel spreadsheet. Most of the links will lead to a page that says the same "No results found." Some of the pages will have different results I would like to save so I could look at them myself. How can I automate this so I don't have to click and check each link manually, without spamming the website? Here's a task list I have but I have no idea how or where to begin implementing this. Thanks for any help.
Open tab
Open link
Wait for loading
Check page if worth saving new results (? I have no idea how this is possible)
Save page/record results
Mark link complete
Close tab
Move to next link
Wait
Repeat x 100 or so
First of all, I have to say that I am NET developer (C#) and my knowledge on Dynamics 365 is pretty limited. Nevertheless my employer thought that I am good enough to make that thingy from post title :)
After couple of hours researching and reading, I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LwZLoXS6jo which address on how to create and send SMS from Dynamics. I am aware that this require me to create new Dynamics entities, at least SMSMessage and SMSMessageTemplate, but at least I found out how to do this :)
I understood everything stated there, but as i already said, due to my lack of knowledge on Dynamics 365, I got problems with (probably) basic things regarding Dynamics.
Here are those problems:
1. As far as I can tell, in order to build SMS gateway, first thing I need to do is to add new menu item inside Dynamics 365. I presume that this new menu item should reside inside 'Contacts' menu (contacts.jpg, marked with red box) but I am not sure on how to achieve this. Please note, I do not want someone to provide me with some magic solution, I just need someone to provide me with valid links that I can use to learn about this and solve my own problem :)
2. When new menu item is in place, and user click on it, I would like to open up a form for user to select SMS template that will be used and maybe setup some other values. Same again, U do not need to help me with exact code, just with some usable links :)
3. Inside that form that user will open on menu click, I would like to know how to get list of selected contacts (from grid at contact.jpg)
When I (finally) have that list of contacts, I will create SMS entities mentioned above (video link) and everything will fall in place and (hopefully) work.
I am aware that this is probably too much to ask, cause Dynamics 365 is rather complex, and people are spending great amounts of money and their time learning to became Dynamics developers, but without help, Dynamics is making me running in circles chasing my own tail :) and getting nowhere.
Also, I will be using online Dynamics 365 so bare in mind that any solution should work with it.
if any of U think that I missed or got something wrong, please let me know.enter image description here
So basically to get you started, you should:
1) Create a solution in Settings => Customizations => Solutions
2) Add contact entity to that solution (by choosing "Add existing" under Entities pane). Don't click "Add all assets" you will need only contact metadata to get going
3) Create jScript file and add a web resource to CRM (nothing really complicated, just go to web resources in you solution and click "Add new" and specify type of your web resource as jScript and target your file).
4) Now download http://www.xrmtoolbox.com
5) For now you are interested only in plugin "Ribbon Workbench"
6) Now simply choose your solution and contact - you will see command bars for contact homepage, list and form. This is pretty strainghtforward - simply drag and drop a button wherever you like, create a command using workbench and bind the button with the command (simply choose it from a drop-down). The command you are interested in is Custom Javacript. Here you specify your web resource and name of the function that you want to call. You can also specify parameters that should be passed inside your function for example ids of selected items (if you are on the list of records).
There are many approaches to fulfil your specific needs, but being able to call a custom javascript function from a button should be a good starting point, the rest is simply the knowledge of CRM SDK, so how to create an entity using API or open a form or open a web resource - everything is very well documented and you can get it simply by asking google, so I will not post any blog here, not to advertise too much. Also I's suggest downloading latest CRM SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50032) - you have many sample code there, regarding plugins and some form modifications, you should also check this out.
To make it easier for you, you should refer to this "menu" as "Command bar" or "Ribbon", so rather look for "adding custom button to command bar CRM 2016" and you will be all good. Also to make a form for choosing a template, you will probably need some custom web resource, so "creating custom html5 web resource CRM 2016" should give you some good examples.
I want some Testing information about my application.
Which testing method is suitable for my application page.
In my page contains 200 check boxes. on click on check box, one new page open with different URL.
*Note: all check boxes having different URL.
So, please anyone help me out to find which testing method is suitable.
and how can i test my this page with less effort.
For testing techniques, I think here are some expectation.
Techniques should focus on functional testing and reduce efforts of regression testing. From my experience, You should focus on Manual and Automation techniques.
Manual Efforts
If page have more than 200 check box, First question is it necessary to have 200 check box on one page, It will not good user experience. You can filed defect against requirement and product development team. Discussion begin
To verify look and feel of 200 checkbox and page, I will always focus on some QA notes that help everyone team to understand testing efforts that include browser specification and if page is responsive than which are different size of screen you are going to test
I will prefer to write Cucumber Scenario in Gherkin Language using Given/When and Then Cucumber Source
Scenario should be written in way that can help you to automate
Automation Efforts
I would recommand you to use selenium and choose any programming lanague(C#,PHP,Java,JavaScript,perl,Ruby,Python and other many) for automation.
You already have scenario and You can automate easily
Few things should be part of automation like deep verification that page is loaded successfully, title of page are matching and take snapshot if page is not loaded or during exception. Automation code should execute against any browser.
This is good starting point.
One possibility for you is to use RSpec and capybara-webkit, but i don't know if you are familiar with the Rubylanguage as you didn't talk about any programming language you'd like to use.
In order to achieve this workflow (click on a checkbox and check for the url), you should do something like this
describe "A test to", :js => true do
it "click on a checkbox and check for the url" do
visit("http://your_url") //to visit your page
page.check('the ID or the NAME of the checkbox') //to click on the checkbox
within_window(switch_to_window(windows.last)) do //to focus on the new opened page
expect(current_url).to eq('http://the_expected_url') //to check the url
end
end
end
I'm having a problem when trying to A/B test certain nodes in my node-tree in Umbraco.
What I want to do is to copy a node in the node-tree to a specific spot and use that B-structure to see which of the structures works best, using Google analytics.
For example we have two node structures, let's call them "Private" and "Sweden".
Their structure with childnodes and properties are exactly the same. The only difference between them is the propertyvalues (content). The "Private"-URL is www.mysite.com/Private and the "Sweden"-URL is www.mysite.com/Sweden.
What I would like to do is to change every link on the B-structure, so that it points to its match at the A-structure. The problem is that since it's two different structures, it will have two different alternative links.
With other words, it should be a coinsidence that it enters the B-structure, then be moved back to the A-structure in the next click.
We manage what page it should load (either the A-node or the B-node) with scripts, so that it has a 50% chance for each node, and if it lands on the B-node, Google analytics will save data. What we can't manage is that every link on that page will be to the A-node.
I'd appreciate any help I can get.

David
There's a couple of ways that seem likely to give you a start at least.
The /config/urlrewriting.config file allows you to set up multiple redirect rules within umbraco so a section like the following might work in sending all requests (whether (/sweden/pagename/ or /private/pagename/) back to the private structure. Not sure how GA will handle it:
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString" destinationUrl="http://www.mysite.com/private/$1" redirect="Domain" redirectMode="Permanent" ignoreCase="true" />
Secondly a simple httpmodule (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307996) can process all page requests and redirect as required - you could do a gaq_push here directly or indirectly.
I'd be interested to know how you get on - it seems a good area for extension to Umbraco.
I'm not sure I have understood perfectly what you need to do, so please excuse any assumptions that may prove mistaken. Here's what I think:
Since A & B nodes should share the same html content (besides the links of course), why don't you make the link href attribute dynamic by using a bit of razor in the template or macro:
#{var isANode = CurrentPage.Parent.Name == "Sweden"; }
A similar approach would work if you are using web forms.
We finally came to the final decision to use the alternative template-solution. Since there seem to be no generic solution for my case of this problem we had to create an alternative template with specific macros to render the different information for every documenttype we're using.
Creating dynamic links for every page is a hell of a job in this stage in the project, since there are so many pages and links. Also some links are made in javascript, so there's another problem.
I copied the a-structure to another node, only for the reason to be able to change propertyvalues. There might be a problem logging and track the information with Google Analytics though, so that's the next step for us in this project. In our alternative templates we're getting the propertyvalues from the b-structure.
Still, if anyone have some better solution I'd highly appreciate it!

I would like to write web pages that have links to Rally issues (Test Cases, Defects, etc). I would like to be able to generate a URL with the FormattedID. Is this possible? Or do I really need the objectID? For example:
http://rally1.rallydev.com/363953481d/detail/testcase/TC1665
(or something like that, instead of the cryptic object id)
The following allows users to go directly to the detail page of a work product without having to know the Object ID:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/search?keywords=US1234
This relies on a feature of Rally's search functionality and isn't officially supported - so the above URL isn't guaranteed to work forever. However it's a decent way to use Formatted ID's as a workaround.
Searching by just keyword will give you the item with that ID and related items (e.g. other items that mention the desired ID in their name). Sometimes this is fine, sometimes not.
To search for DE75700 and DE72760 only, and no others use
https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/search?keywords=FormattedID%3ADE75700%20FormattedID%3ADE72760
This is equivalent to manually typing
FormattedID:DE75700 FormattedID:DE72760
in the Rally search box.
As a corollary to the main answer I have defined a Chrome browser bookmark which will take me right to any Rally item by its ID.
The URL for this bookmark in full is:
javascript:(function(){window.location = "https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/search?keywords=" + prompt("Enter ID:");})();
When this bookmark is activated, it prompts you like so:
I find this to be a huge time saver.
Thanks to Displaying a prompt from javascript Chrome bookmark.
