Keyword view in QTP

Keyword view in QTP:

After recoding all the operations, QuickTest displays them as steps in the Keyword view and generates them as a script in the Expert view.

The Keyword View enables you to create and view the steps of your component in a keyword-driven, modular, table format.


Following are the various columns available in Keyword view:

1.   Item: The item on which you want to perform the step (test object, utility object, function call, or statement). This column displays a hierarchical icon-based tree. The highest level of the tree is action.
2.   Operation: The operation (methods or functions) to be performed on the item, e.g. Click and Select.
3.   Value: The argument values for the selected operation, or the content of the statement.
4.   Assignment: The assignment of a value to or from a variable.
5.   Comment: A free text edit box for any information you want to add regarding the step.
6.   Documentation: Read-only auto-documentation of what the step does in an easy-to-understand sentence.
