Sample of Driver script to run multiple QTP scripts
Hi,
If you just wish to control the execution of QTP Actions, you don't need anything
special.
I'll describe a simple way of achieving your goal with really minimum development
effort.
1) Let's agree that your QTP test is a script that should run a sequence of actions.
Each action can be a test on its own, or really a part of a more complex test.
2) In such a case:
a) Your main action (e.g., Action1) would contain the code as shown below.
b) Define environment variables as required:
TEST_FLOW
MIN_ACTION
MAX_ACTION
You can define these in the test or in an external xml file to be loaded at run-time
with:
Code
GeSHi (qtp):
Environment.Load(<Pathname>)
Created by GeSHI 1.0.7.20
Main Action code
Code
GeSHi (qtp):
Dim arrActions, blnBreak, intMinAction, intMaxAction, intCurAction
arrActions = split(Environment("TEST_FLOW"), ";")
'Remark: The TEST_FLOW environment variable would contain a concatenated string
with the actions names separated by ; (semicolon). For example: "Login;Create
Customer;Create Account;Activate Account;Create Service Package;Logout"
blnBreak = False
intCurAction = 0
intMinAction = Environment("MIN_ACTION") 'MIN_ACTION would contain an integer
with the first action to run in the flow (default=1).
If (intMinAction = 0 Or intMinAction = "") Then
intMinAction = LBound(arrActions) 'Default
End If
intMaxAction = Environment("MAX_ACTION")
If (intMaxAction = 0 Or intMaxAction = "") Then
intMaxAction = UBound(arrActions) 'Default
End If
intCurAction = intMinAction
Do
blnBreak = RunAction arrActions(intCurAction) 'it's also possible to build it with the
other parameters such as number of iterations, etc.
intCurAction = intCurAction+1
Loop Until (blnBreak Or intCurAction > intMaxAction)

Another approach (as you suggested) is to define per action whether to run it or not.
Please note that this requires that the actions ARE NOT functionally dependent.
You can achieve this by defining an environment variable for each to-be-run action
(e.g., Create Service Package) and assigning it a value of, for instance, Y/N.
Then your loop code would change to:
Code
GeSHi (qtp):
Do
If (Environment(arrActions(intCurAction)) = "Y") Then
blnBreak = RunAction arrActions(intCurAction)
End If
intCurAction = intCurAction+1
Loop Until (blnBreak Or intCurAction > intMaxAction)
2.Running QTP Scripts from QC
Give a try with this code from vbs file. It might work.
Public Function testFunc()
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
qtApp.Launch
qtApp.Visible = False
If Not(qtApp.TDConnection.IsConnected) Then
qtApp.TDConnection.Connect "http://xxxxxxxxx/qcbin","Domain", "Project", "uid",
"pwd", False
End If
qtApp.Open "[QualityCenter] Subject\Automation\Test1", False
qtApp.Test.Run
qtApp.Open "[QualityCenter] Subject\Automation\Test2", False
qtApp.Test.Run
qtApp.Open "[QualityCenter] Subject\Automation\Test3", False
qtApp.Test.Run
qtApp.quit
Set qtApp = Nothing
End Function
Call testFunc()
