Quick Test Professional - The starters Guide

A library is a file which contains variable declaration, classes, function and sub procedures. These library files can be associated to any code in QTP, it is helpful for the code in QTP can call or reuse the procedures present in the library file.

Library files can have the following extensions:

• .txt
• .vbs
• .qfl 

To create Library File: Go to "File" select "Function Library". 

Libraries Associating Functions are:

Method 1: Navigating to "File" click on "Settings" select ” Resources”  select ” Associate Function Library” option. Press "+" icon to add Function Library File and add it by using actual path as shown:

Method 2:

We can also add by using ExecuteFile method as shown in below example:

Syntax ExecuteFile(Filepath)
 ExecuteFile "C:\library1.vbs" 
 ExecuteFile "C:\library2.vbs" 

Method 3:

We can also add using LoadFunctionLibrary Method as shown in below example:

Syntax:LoadFunctionLibrary(Filepath)
  LoadFunctionLibrary "C:\library1.vbs" 
  LoadFunctionLibrary "C:\library2.vbs" 

Method 4:

Automation Object Model (AOM): It is mainly used to launch QTP, Associate Function Libraries, Open the Test, etc.

The below Vbscript should be saved with .vbs Extension and upon executing it, QTP will be launched and test will be start executing

'To Launch QTP
 Set objQTP = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
 objQTP.Launch
 objQTP.Visible = True
  
 'To Open Specific test
 objQTP.Open "D:\GUITest2", False, False
 Set objLib = objQTP.Test.Settings.Resources.Libraries
  
 'Associate Function Library if not associated already.
 If objLib.Find("C:\library1.vbs") = -1 Then 
   objLib.Add "C:\library1.vbs", 1 
 End
