- Testing Complex HTML Tables
- Creating Reserved Objects.
- Localization Techniques and Design Patterns
Third chapter Object Repository is very important chapter which explains how to implement DP to automate stuffs. Chapter six HTML DOM has nice introduction about HTML DOM, traversing HTML tree nodes, and many more important information about HTML DOM.
Chapter 10 will be useful to engineers who are implementing Localization testing in their project. It explains different approaches and strategy and its advantages and disadvantages.
Chapter 11 explains about Object Identification using XPATH. How to implement XPath in QTP by selecting nodes, selecting nodes with children, using manual XPath and many more information.
Chapter 12 explains how to identify objects using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Chapter 14 explains how to work with objects using XML OR. Appendix A explains different approaches for issue resolution. It has 11 problem statements and solutions. Appendix B explains about Performance benchmarks, how to optimize and improve the object identification.
On the whole, QTP Descriptive Programming Unplugged is mandatory book for every QTP engineers to know in-depth concepts of OR.
