Case study: QTP to Selenium migration
3 likes4,095 views
The presentation is from Selenium Conf 2014, where this case study was recently presented. The case study talks about a migration we did at TARLABS for one of our clients. The existing suite of QTP was migrated to Selenium. A custom C# based framework was developed. The framework is inspired from RobotFramework in Python. The execution time in QTP with Single machine was 160 min and was reduced to 19 min using Selenium

- 4. Agenda About the Application Under Test Existing Testing Suite Existing Challenges Why Migrate? QTP v/s Selenium Result 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 4
- 5. AUT Web app for hospitals Managing patients, doctors, medications, diagnosis Back End: ASP.NET, MS SQL Front End: HTML, jQuery 75% AJAX autocomplete fields 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 5
- 6. Existing Testing Suite Tool: QTP Test Cases: 30 Machine(s): 1 Run time: ~3 hours Reporting: Native QTP Execution Frequency: twice a day Execution Tool: HP QC 11.00 Browsers: IE (primarily) & Firefox Inconsistency Failure rate: 10% 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 6
- 7. Existing Challenges 2 long test with 15-25 min execution time 2 long test - 40% failure chance because of inconsistent app/AJAX behavior Most failures re-attempted without re-testing Extra debugging efforts as QTP native reports don't show error/exception stack trace 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 7
- 8. Idea of Migration Created a single test proof of concept using Selenium and C# Selenium test with no framework and hard coded values executed in 2.75 min against QTP's 4.5 min 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 8
- 9. QTP v/s Selenium QTP Selenium Identifies browser at UI level Can connect to existing browsers IE, Firefox, Chrome Identifies each object as its own type WebEdit, WebTable, WebList Identifies browser launched using Selenium Cannot connect to existing browser Identifies only WebElement. Has only support for Select 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 9
- 10. Initial challenges No functions for tables or specific object types No method to check existence of object (in QTP, Browser().Page().WebEdit().Exist(0)) No straight forward method to wait for object wait (in QTP, Browser().Page().WebEdit().Exist(10)) No Object Repository management, DataTables Lot of re-usable classes to be written 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 10
- 11. Framework in C# Inspired by Python RobotFramework Aimed at below Reduce logging effort Easy to use Object Repository HTML reporting Less code Parameterization Debugging from existing failures 息 TARLABS Ltd, 2013 - 14 11
