Micro Focus QTP (UFT) Forums

Hi guys,
I have a misunderstanding, I am running a suite of 100 automated TCs from Quality Center.
The issue I have there is that the tests scripts are loaded into QTP too long before to be run. Sometimes it's getting more time to load the tests than to run them.

The tests are written in descriptive mode, having a framework without any kind of repositories, using functions and classes, an XML config file, without any recorded steps...

It's a clear descriptive mode as I told previously.

Is anybody who knows how to fix this issue?! I really need help on this. Please HELP!

Thanks a lot

We have similar problems. When we load QTP scripts from the repository server (a separate machine on the network), it takes as long as a minute and a half to load a script. We use a lot of functions and global actions and most scripts reference one or sometimes two global repositories.

hey guys... no answers?! Is no one who can help with that?!

We have similar problem but observed calling more actions through Call to Copy of Action or Call to Existing Action, it is taking more time. Without calling actions, it is beding opened pretty much fast.

It appears that QTP loads all the sheets in all of the data tables for actions a test calls. If your test call action "abc", it loads the data sheets from the data table for "abc". We use global actions a lot and I have one test that loads 111 data sheets!!! Another, smaller and more simple test I just looked at has 75 data sheets! These data sheets are all from actions that the test calls, or actions that those actions call.

We have a support contract with a 3rd party and I just sent them an email asking if there was a way around this. It takes quite a while for QTP to load 75 or more data sheets!

hmm. but does anybody knows any solutions?!

guys, what if we store all the *.qfl & *vbs & *.XML files on a local drive and the tests on QC (test director) then run the TCs from TD?! is there anyone who tried this?!

yes, it runs much faster - like x3 times - when all the sources are stored & loaded from the local drives (the prioritized folders are on local)
