Automating a N languages website using single QTP Script

Automating a N languages website using single QTP Script – The Realtime usage of Repository Collection Object

You might face a situation during automation where you given a website which can be

accessed in say 10 different languages. Now the question that arises here is how should

you proceed to automate it. Many of us would think to create 10 different scripts for

each language isn’t it.But the same can be implemented using one script only. How.?

See below for details:

QTP provides collection object called Repository Collection that enables you to

programmatically associate or attach the Object Repository dynamically at run-time

during test run. So to automate the website in different languages, we can simply

create 10 object repositories and associate them either one by one or one Iteration

of test run.We can parametrize the object-repositories path either through Data-Table

or using files etc and test the application easily. i.e.

'Parameterzing Object Repository Path

One way to do is adding all the object repositories paths into datatable as shown below.

repos_Path = DataTable.Value("Repo_Path","Global")

'Associating Object Repository

The Add method is used to add an object repository file to the specified index position in

run time collection of shared object repository files associated with current action.

RepositoriesCollection.Add(repos_Path)

'Complete Script

'Get Total Number of Shared Repositories Associated with the current action

x = RepositoriesCollection.Count

Print "Total Repositories Associated With " & Environment("ActionName") & " = " & x

'Checkpoint to Add/Associate Shared Repositories if no repos is associated

If x = 0 Then

'Parameterizing Repository Path

repos_Path = DataTable.Value("Repo_Path","Global")

'Associating OR

RepositoriesCollection.Add repos_Path

End If

‘Get Total Updated Number of Shared Repositories Associated with the current action

x = RepositoriesCollection.Count

Print x
