Merge Object Repository the Business Process Testing(BPT) way!



To update a shared object repository from a local object repository of a BPT Component:



Select Resources > Object Repository Manager. The Object Repository Manager opens.

In the Object Repository Manager, select File > Open or click the Open button . The Open Shared Object Repository dialog box opens.

In the sidebar, select the location of the object repository file, for example, File System or Quality Center Resources.

Browse to and select the .tsr file that contains the shared object repository you want to update, clear the Open in read-only mode check box, and click Open. The file opens with the objects and properties displayed in editable format.

Select Tools > Update from Local Repository. The Update from Local Repository dialog box opens.

Make sure you are connected to your Quality Center project. Click the down arrow next to the Add Tests button , and select Browse for Component. The Open QuickTest Component from Quality Center Project dialog box opens.

Browse to the component whose local object repository you want to merge into the shared object repository.

Click Update All. QuickTest automatically merges the first component local object repository into the shared object repository according to the configured settings, and displays the results in the Statistics dialog box on top of the Object Repository Merge Tool window.

Happy automating!

Software Testing @ Microsoft

In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced. Think about it this way: it just doesn't make sense for test manager to spend their headcount (SDETs) on something can be easily outsourced.  Until 2005, Microso

Trim / Remove spaces in Xpath?

If you are wondering how you can trim the spaces in your xpath, this is how: The normalize-space function strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of white-space characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string. Example : Which one is better? //td[starts-with(normalize-space(),'Text to Trim')] //td[starts-with(normalize-space(text()),' Text to Trim ')] The second option is better as it targets at the specific nodes More string functions in XPATH: Functions Description starts-with( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string starts with the second string. contains( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns true if the first string contains the second string. substring( string offset length ) Returns a section of the string. The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
