Go gaga over Machine Learning

I am sure if you have used QTP a lot and are new to Mainframe applications like Hummingbird HostExplorer, Attachmate EXTRA!, NetManage RUMBA etc . QTP provides a Terminal Emulator (TE) Add-in that allows users to use a Terminal Emulator to access and automate Mainframe Applications. Configure the TE Add-in with a Terminal Emulator. Not panic as TE is not like the other add-ins The answer to the question QTP and Mainframes = Terminal Emulator ? is Not really . It's not as simple as adding the add-in at startup and start using various predefined objects. To better understand how to use TE and configure it the below links might help: http://www.jds.net.au/tech-tips/qtp-with-terminal-emulators/ http://www.advancedqtp.com/wp-content/uploads/TETutorial/index.html

This is a very simple issue where a QTP user is unable to type in text inside a webelement (which might be an edit box) Solution: 1. Make sure the parent is not a Frame that is redundant 2. Delete any such frames from the Object Repository 3. Use the .Object method 4. .innertext as the sub method Here is an example: Browser().Page().WebElement().Object.innerText = "Test value to be written" That's how easy it is to write into any webelement object! Happy Testing!

When I first heard this term or jargon "In the Wild Testing" , I thought it was some kind of exploratory testing that was done by varied experience users. But this is not what it actually is: What is In the Wild Testing? As the QA industry matured, it yielded various schools and methods: manual vs. automated; in-house vs. outsourced; guided vs.exploratory; emulators vs. remote access. In each case, these innovations take place inside the confines of a QA lab, either within the company’s firewall, or halfway around the world In-the-wild testing, on the other hand, emphasizes the need for companies to test under true real-world environments. Why? Because users consume apps under various conditions, including: •Adverse, unpredictable and widely varied environments •Outdated or unexpected browsers, plug-ins and anti-virus •An ever-growing list of hardware and devices •Imperfect connectivity (both wi-fi and cellular) To summarize : The only way to
