Analyzing Test Results & Reporting
Analyzing the Test Result is not a responsibility of QTP. After Running Tests, User (Test Engineer) has to analyze the test result. and send defect reports.
QTP Result Window:
After
Running/Executing a test, then QTP Provide result window. we export test result
from result window in Document (.Doc), HTML, XML and PDF formats.
Note: QTP doen't provide batch wise test result, if we execute test batches. It provides test wise result only.
Status of the Result:
QTP has 4 types of result status
a) Pass
b) Fail
c) Done
d) Warning
Defining our own Result:
Generally
QTP provides, test results, if we use qtp tool features like checkpoints.
suppose if we use flow control statements (conditional and Loop statements),
then we have to define our own result.
For defining our own results, QTP is providing an utility object called "Reporter"
by using reporter, we can define our own results.
Syntax:
Reporter.ReportEvent status of the Result,"Result Step","message"
Example"
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass,"Res","Login operation Successful"
exaplanation:
Reporter- Utility object
ReportEvent-Method
micPass-Status of the Result.
Res-Result step
"Login operation Successful"- Message
Status of the Result:
1) Pass -micPass or 0
2) Fail -micPass or 1
3) Done- micDone or 2
4) Warning- micDone or 3

Reporting Defects
QTP is
an Object based Test tool. We can create and execute tests using QTP. QTP
Provides, various methods for crating and enhancing Tests.
After Running Tests, QTP provides result in Result window and also provides a facility to define our own Results. Result Exporting facility also available in QTP Result window.
Any how Analyzing Results is the Responsibility of Test Engineer after running tests.
After analyzing results, we can report defects in various methods.
If we are using QTP for Functional Test Automation and Defect management manual, then entering defect details in company prescribed format and sending.
If we are using Bugzilla or Zera or PR-Tracker like Bug Tracking tool, then after analyzing results, if we find any mismatches sending defects through the Bug tracking tool (Every Bug Tracking tool has its own defect report template)
If we are using Quality center for Test management, then we can send defects directly from QTP result window. In between QTP and Quality Center back to back integration is available.
