QTP Script for Data Driven Testing using Notepad

My Article in Ezine Articles

 Script for data driven testing

Set f=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")

Set f1=f.createtextfile("d://file1.txt")

f1.writeline"aaa bbb"

f1.writeline"ccc ddd"

f1.writeline"eee fff"

f1.writeline"ggg hhh"

f1.writeline"iii jjj"

 

The above script creates a notepad in "d" drive with name file1

 

aaa bbb

ccc ddd

eee fff

ggg hhh

iii jjj

 

values are stored in file1.txt.

 

Set f2=f.opentextfile("d://file1.txt")

While f2.atendofstream<>true

f3=f2.readline

x=split(f3," ")

msgbox x(0)

msgbox x(1)

Wend

 

The above script is used for data driven using notepad directly.here we are not importing data to excel sheet.

directly values are retreived from notepad.

 

we are using while loop and reading each line till the end.

split function splits the line where space(" ")occurs.

line is divided to 2 parts.one before space and other after space

for example we have 1st line in notepad as aaa bbb

 

here aaa is 1st part and bbb is 2nd part

x(0)=aaa

x(1)=bbb

 

all values are read this way using while loop.

 

One point to note here is if any line is empty in notepad datadriven testing is stopped before that line.

It will not proceed further.so we have to give values without any empty lines in notepad.

 

to make u more clear

 

suppose u have

aaa bbb

 

 

 

ccc ddd

 

datadriven is stopped at aaa and bbb only because next line is empty.datadriven is stopped after 1st line.
