In continuation to the previous post Automation of the .NET ToolbarsManager , here is the code that will click on any toolbars button using the bounds property : Note that: The toolbar is recognized as an swfobject here We are accessing the CommandLinks collection to access individual buttons in the toolbar Using an array to get the bounds and then clicking on the respective button. Set Mnubar = SwfWindow("").SwfObject("").Object.CommandLinks For i = 0 To Mnubar.Count -1     Mnuname=Mnubar.Item(i).Text     msgbox Mnuname     oBounds = Mnubar.Item(i).Bounds     arrBounds = Split(oBounds, ",")     arrBound = Split(arrBounds(0), "=")     iX = CInt(arrBound(1))     arrBound = Split(arrBounds(1), "=")     iY = CInt(arrBound(1))     SwfWindow("").Activate     SwfWindow("").SwfObject("").Click iX,iY    Next We can make this code more generic by passing the name of the button or the tooltip of the butt

I have seen a lot of traction towards the blog post "QTP v/s Selenium" . Like I have always said in my earlier posts that QTP has been one of my favorite tools and also one of the most explored tools.Tools like Quicktest are great but there are definitely some drawbacks with knowing just QTP and nothing else. I believe going forward just knowing tools like QTP would not help... We would need tools that : Can fit into a fast paced agile project  Are low on cost  Are low on maintainance. Are not just GUI based and at-least get to a level below the presentation layer. Allow choice of scripting languages Allow Continuous Integration Open-source has contributed a great deal to such kinda tools ... so here is a quick list of tools that answer if not QTP then what? in no specific order: Selenium / Tellurium Watir / WatiN Sahi  FitNesse Canoo Cucumber Rspec AutoIt / iMacros White for .Net Marathon/JWebUnit for Java Frankenstein for Swing apps There are many mo

I have had a lot of friends and testing aspirants asking me , what is it that i should know in QTP to start a career in automation . I shall have a series of posts that will give you an idea of what are the things you need to learn if you want to test a specific technology : e.g : .Net , Java, WebServices etc... I shall start with the simplest one and my favorite QTP: Basics of using QTP- use the tutorial and refernce guide for this Web App testing ( Use the sample HP app for this) Windows App testing ( Use the sample HP app for this) VB scripting (from a quicktest point of view) Advanced concepts in QTP. Other Advanced concepts like COM objects, Quick test object model  Make your own DLL’s, work with WSC, and QTP Reserved Objects and Registry changes Synchronizing  QTP with external applications.  Hope this helps all those who wanna learn QTP and get into automation.
