capturing Screenshots for the failure tests using QTP- Urgent

[Mathi_QA Engineer]

Hi,
Anyone please help me how to take the screen shot of the failure test
cases and add them in the test results for the Jaav application.. It
would be helpful If you help with the script..

Thanks in Advance

use statement - Setting("SnapshotReportMode") = 0 at the beginning of the script.

Codes for SnapshotReportMode are as follows:

 

0 - always captures images.

1 - captures images only if an error occurs on the page.

2 - captures images if an error or warning occurs on the page.

3 - never captures images.

Default = 1.

when you use snapshotReportMode property, it will capture the object on which any action is performed(depending on the value you use for this property, if you use 0, it will capture all screen shots, however, if you use, 1, it will capture screen shots for only those objects which results in an error).

In Test result, just click on the object of which you want to see the screen shot.  It will be displayed there.

Note:  This property will not capture objects on which you have just used Exist method only and have not performed any action like click or set ...

Vivek

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your response.
i tried this and it is working. i have another one doubt,
As of now i am reporting all of my defects in excel file. When
using the SnapshotReportMode method, QTP reports the images in QTP
results. Can i get those snapshots in my own location or in the excel
file which i am creating?

Thanks in advance,
mathi

Hi Mathi,

you can use CaptureBitmap method if you need to store the snapshots in different location.
However, you may need to do a bit of additional coding to get the snapshot for all errors (try using "if" condition with "exist" and in "else" statement use captureBitmap method)

Syntax: (you can get it in qtp help file also)

object.CaptureBitmap FullFileName, [OverrideExisting]

Browser(B).Page(P).WebEdit(x).CaptureBitmap "d:\my_folder\EditSnap.bmp", True

Regards,
Vivek

Hi,

According to my knowledge,

even you can use the "CaptureBitmap" option for each and every hierarchy... where you feel that Error will come...

For Ex:

 

Browser("gmail").CaprureBitMap "path\knk.bmp", 1

 

It is better to save in the ".bmp" format...

hi

     you can use capture error option under one of the QTP settings,it comes under options r settings.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

    There is option to capture failures of screen shot in between execution of the script.Go to Run tab and there is a option to set as per your requirement like capturing screen shots at the error time only or at the time of warnigs or always.I think it will resolve your problem.

 

Keep posting any query
