QTP (QuickTest Professional) keyword view

In QTP (QuickTest Professional) they first of all record a check, then run a check & then analyze the results, but before jogging the check they can also enhance it with checkpoints & parameters.

First of all let's talk a tiny about keyword view in QTP and then they will talk about recording in QTP and then they will move on to other things. After recording all the operations, QuickTest displays them as steps in the Keyword View, and generates them in a script (in an Expert View).

In the keyword view there are 4 visible columns –

Item- The item on which they require to perform the step and it can be a check object, utility object, function call, or statement. This column shows a hierarchical icon-based tree. The highest level of the tree is actions, and all steps are contained within the relevant branch of the tree.

Operation- The operation (methods or functions) to be performed on the item chosen in the Item column, for example, Click or Select.

Value- The argument values for the selected operation, for example, the mouse button to use when clicking the picture.

Documentation- is a read-only such documentation that the move is not in an easy to understand sentence, for example, click "findFlights" image.

Assignment-The assignment of a value or variable for example, stored in cCols will store the return value of the current stage in a variable called cCols so you can use the value later in the check. This column is not visible by default.

Comment- Any textual information you require to add regarding the step. This column is also not visible by default.
