usage of custom dll's - bruegge - 10-13-2010
Hello,
I am still very new to QTP, however I am in the following situation:
Our team has programmed an automated UI test in C# and created a DLL containing a method to run this UI test. Now we would like to start this from QTP and get a proper report back to QTP. My code looks as follows:
Code:
Set v = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("AutoTester", "C:\Projects\AutoTester\AutoTester.dll")
v.runUITest()Now there is a little problem with loading this dll. It seems as if everything is working, however, when the test finished the dll file is still loaded by QTP. So I cannot delete/override the dll file. The file will only be released when I shut down QTP and restart it.
Is there a way of freeing the dll from within QTP?
"Set v = nothing" does not do the trick :/
I also have a second question (not related to this question):
Is it possible to start the VBScript from above from within HP Quality Center? So that I do not need to install QuickTest Professional?
Best wishes
Christian

Christian,
I think you should just be able to use the v.close() option to close your DLL. I use the close method for lots of other things to close whatever I am using when I am done with it -- especially if I am running it in multiple iterations and need to time the opening and closing...o.O
At my current workplace they have not found a way to run QTP tests without having QTP on the workstation. You could, however, have a virtual workstation...that you access through Vbs that is not on a particular workstation and execute the test from there. In this case, you would not need to have QTP loaded. And there is a whole walk-thru on connecting QTP to QC in the QTP help files, if you need to do that.
Cheers.
