   Recording Tests

As you
navigate through your Web site or application, QuickTest records your
steps. These operations are the basis of your test. When you stop
recording, you can see the steps of your newly-created test in an
icon-based tree. In this lesson you will learn about:

•Preparing to Record a Test
•Recording a Test
•Analyzing the Test Tree

Preparing to Record a Test
Before
you begin recording a test, ensure that both your application or Web
site and QuickTest are set to match the needs of your test. For the
purposes of this tutorial, ensure that:
?you have registered as a
user in the Mercury Tours Web site. For more information, see “Using
the Mercury Tours Web Site for the First Time”.
?If you are using
Internet Explorer as your browser, the AutoComplete option is cleared
for user names and passwords. For instructions, see “Optimizing Browser
Settings for Your Test” on.
?All browsers are closed before you begin recording.

In
this section, you will record the process of making a reservation for a
flight from New York to San Francisco on the Mercury Tours Web site.

Start QuickTest and open a new test.

?If QuickTest is not currently open, choose Start > Programs > QuickTest Professional > QuickTest Professional.

In the Add-in Manager, confirm that the Web Add-in is selected, and  clear all other add-ins. Click OK to close the Add-in Manager and open QuickTest.

Note:
While QuickTest loads your selected add-ins, the QuickTest splash
screen is displayed. This may take a few seconds. If the Welcome window
opens, click Blank Test. Otherwise, choose File > New, or click the
New button. A blank test opens.
?   If QuickTest is already open, check which add-ins are loaded by selecting Help > About QuickTest Professional. If the Web
Add-in is not loaded, you must exit and restart QuickTest. When the
Add-in Manager opens, select the Web Add-in, and clear all other
add-ins.
Choose File > New, or click the New button.

A blank test opens.

Note: If the Add-in Manager does not open when starting QuickTest, choose       Tools > Options. In the General tab, select Display Add-in Manager on startup. When you exit and restart QuickTest, the Add-inManager opens.

?In
the Web tab, select Open the following browser when a record or run
session begins. Choose a browser from the Type list and confirm that
the URL in the Address box is http://newtours.mercuryinteractive.com. Confirm that Close the browser when the test is closed is selected.

?In
the Windows Applications tab, confirm that Record and run on these
applications is selected, and that there are no applications listed.

This
setting prevents you from inadvertently recording operations performed
on various Windows applications (such as e-mail) during a recording
session. Click OK. QuickTest begins recording, and your browser opens to the Mercury Tours Web site.

Click CONTINUE to accept the other default selections. The Select Flight page opens.

Note: When entering dates while recording this test, do not click the View Calendar
button, which opens a Java-based calendar. Your test will not record
the date selected using this calendar because you did not load the Java
Add-in for this tutorial. To check which add-ins have been loaded,
click Help > About QuickTest Professional. To change the available add-ins for your tests, you must close and reopen QuickTest Professional.

5. Select a flight.
Click CONTINUE to accept the default flight selections. The Book a Flight page opens.

7. Review and complete your booking.
Click BACK TO HOME. The Mercury Tours home page opens.

8. Stop recording.
In QuickTest, click Stop on
the test toolbar to stop the recording process. You have now reserved
an imaginary business class ticket from New York to San Francisco.

clicked the Record button until you clicked the Stop button.
