QTP @ Synchronization

QTP @ Synchronization

Synchronization:

Synchronizing is the process of utilizing time lines / time periods until for a specific purpose

When you run tests, your application may not always respond with the same speed.

For example, it might take a few seconds:

•       For a progress bar to reach 100%
•       For a button to become enabled
•       For a button to become disabled
•       For a window or pop-up message to open
•  

You can handle these anticipated timing problems by synchronizing your test to ensure that QuickTest waits until your application is ready before performing a certain step

Synchronization - Ways to synchronize the test

There are several options that you can use to synchronize your test:

—  We can insert a synchronization point, which instructs

    QuickTest to pause the test until an object property achieves the value you specify. QTP -> Insert > Synchronization Point

—  We can use Sync method to utilize the synchronization until for a specific time

—  We can insert Exist statements that instruct QuickTest to wait until an object exists

—  We can use Wait to wait a specified amount of time before continuing the test.

—  You can also use Waitproperty(“propertyname”)

—  You can also increase the default Timeout settings in the Test Settings and Options dialog boxes in order to instruct QuickTest to allow more time for certain events to occur.

—  QTP -> File > Settings > Run > Synchronization timeout
