Working With Test Parameters in QTP

QTP Provides feature called Test Parameters, similar to Action Parameters which are used for sharing data between multiple actions.

The Test Parameters are of two types as shown in Fig -1 below . The Test parameter pane contains two parameter lists:

1.       Input parameters: Specifies the parameters that the test can receive values from the source that runs or calls it.

2.       Output parameters. Specifies the parameters that the test can pass to the source that runs or calls it.

 Fig - 1- Showing Test Parameters Pane in QTP

To Access the Test Parameter we use TestArgs just as we use Parameter to access Action Parameters.

For e.g

In Fig 1 shown above we  have 2 Test Input Parameters i.e  a and b and 1 Output Test Parameter i.e result.

Sample Script to Demonstrate Test Parameters Usage

TestArgs("a") = 10
TestArgs("b") = 20

res = TestArgs("a")  + TestArgs("b")

TestArgs("result") = res

MsgBox    "Test Parameter 1 =  " &TestArgs("a") & vbnewline &_
                    "Test Parameter 2 =  " &TestArgs("b")  & vbnewline &_
                    "Result = " & res
