POS automation testing

[gautam prakash]

Hi All,

 

I am curious whether POS (point of sale retail) test scripts can be automated using QTP. I have very basic knowledge about QTP and would be thankful if any one can answer the following questions:

1) is any special plugin required for POS?

2) does QTP needs to be installed in POS register or else is there any way we can launch pos application on PC?

3) If we VNC to a POS from PC then can this help in automation? as per my understanding since POS would appear as a webpage thorough VNC this will essentially change the original object property of POS application.

4) how can inputs from peripherals (scanner, credit card swiping etc) be simulated?

5) If any one has already done POS automation using QTP or any other tool kindly provide an outline on how you managed it?

 

Thanks,

Gautam

I am curious whether POS (point of sale retail) test scripts can be automated using QTP. I have very basic knowledge about QTP and would be thankful if any one can answer the following questions: I think you can create the script for POS System. But if you cant reacord the code them it has to be written manually.

1) is any special plugin required for POS? It not required any new add-in.

2) does QTP needs to be installed in POS register or else is there any way we can launch pos application on PC? If Pos register is like qtp application then you can invoke it by using qtp "SystemUtil.Run "<location if .exe DIR> eg; SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"".If QTP can not lauch the POS application then you have write vb code where it invokes QTP, APPLICATIONS Keeps on running but disadvantage if this is the qtp script will be opened in read only mode and all the data has to be set up example of excel data needs to be setup before running the script. but if you can open pos application by vb script then it can be open by qtp as well.

 

3) If we VNC to a POS from PC then can this help in automation? as per my understanding since POS would appear as a webpage thorough VNC this will essentially change the original object property of POS application.

I am not really sure about this but if you want to access the application which was installed in VNC machine then qtp needs to be installed as well.

4) how can inputs from peripherals (scanner, credit card swiping etc) be simulated?

I am not sure about that...

5) If any one has already done POS automation using QTP or any other tool kindly provide an outline on how you managed it?

I am not sure about that... 

 

Thanks,

Gautam

Hi Gautam,

1) is any special plugin required for POS

I am testing POS Application using Silktest. As far as QTP is concerened i think a plugin is required depending on what technology the POS application is developed, for different languages different plugins are required.

2) does QTP needs to be installed in POS register or else is there any way we can launch pos application on PC?

 YES. We install silk on every register

3) If we VNC to a POS from PC then can this help in automation? as per my understanding since POS would appear as a webpage thorough VNC this will essentially change the original object property of POS application.

NO

4) how can inputs from peripherals (scanner, credit card swiping etc) be simulated?

    You cannot simulate pheripherals, need to write a script for scanning and swipping that can be done only by hand key, for scanning write a script for dept no, style and price same for swipping credit or debit cards.

5) If any one has already done POS automation using QTP or any other tool kindly provide an outline on how you managed it?

    I dont understand what you mean to ask here. If you have any question or clarifications let me know.
