What are Actions Why do we need Actions When do we need Actions How do we create Actions		What - Actions —  Actions are the logical units that divide the test into independent blocks —  Actions can be divided into logical sections, like the main sections of a transaction, or by specific business processes. —  When you create a new test, it contains one action. By dividing your tests into multiple actions, you can design more modular and efficient tests. —  Actions help divide your test into logical units Why - Actions o   Makes code reusable. o   Scripts are easy to maintain. o   Scripts are efficient. o   Saves development time.. Actions – Types of Actions o   There are 2 types of Actions o   Reusable Action o   An action which is created once and reused for multi times within the same test or in other tests for any number of times o   Non Reusable Action o   An action which is created only once and can be used once within the same test o   Actions can be Local and External o   Local to the same tests o   External to the any other tests It’s a good idea to use Web Layout view (on the View menu, click Web Layout) when creating your newsletter. That’s the look your customers will be seeing when they receive your e-mail.
Actions - Types Actions - Reusable Actions Actions - Non Reusable Actions Actions  -Parameterization Actions - Input Parameters Actions - Output Parameters Actions - Nested Actions	Actions – More Info o   Inserting Actions :  o   You can insert an existing action by inserting copy of the  action  into your test, or by inserting a call to the original action. o   QTP > Insert > Actions o   Call to New Action , Call to Copy of Action , Call to Existing Action o   Nesting Actions: o   Sometimes you may want to run an action within an action. o   This is called nesting. o   Splitting Actions: o   You can split an existing action into two sibling actions or into parent-child nested actions. o   QTP > Edit > Actions > Split Actions o   Select the position from where you want to split the action Call to New Action —  Each time while we create a new action a New Action is created and more over we can convert this action into either a Reusable Action or a Non Reusable Action. —  QTP > Insert > Actions > Call to New Action Call to Copy of Action —    A Call to Copy of Action : (1)    In the copy of actions we can change the script; we can edit anything that can be applicable to the current test. (2)    The changes which are made to the copy of actions will not be reflected in the main action tests where they are referenced from. (3)    The changes which are made to the copy of actions will be reflected current tests where they are reused as copy of actions (and the changes are not reflected on  the main action/test) Call to Existing Action —  A Call to Existing  Action : (1)    In the existing actions we cannot change the script, we cannot edit anything. (2)   The changes which are made to the main action test, will be reflected in the existing action tests where they are referenced to. Actions - Parameterization o   Parameterization o   The process of running the same test/action for multiple times with multiple sets of test data o   Actions - There are two types of Parameters o   Input Parameters o   Output Parameters o   Input Parameters §  Passing (inputting) test values (parameters) into actions o   Output Parameters §  Getting test values (parameters) from actions Actions – Parameterization – How To o   Declare Variables in Actions - Parameters Tab o   Choose Parameters type §  Input Parameters §  Output Parameters o   Use keyword - Parameter in script o   Parameter(“VariableName”) o   Reuse the actions and pass the parameters o   RunAction <Action> Iteration, Var1,Var2.. Actions - Miscellaneous o   Setting Action Properties o   Sharing Action Information o   Exiting an Action o   Removing Actions from a Test o   Renaming Actions o   Creating an Action Template             o   How To - ActionTemplate Actions – Action Driven Framework o   What is Framework o   Global OR o   Local OR o   Framework Structure o   Framework Process o   Framework Implementation              Actions – Lab - Practical o       W/ H forms of Actions o       Creating Actions o       Reusable / Non Reusable actions o       Action Driven Framework Implementation o       Global  / Local OR o       Actions Parameterization
