Can we automate CAPTCHAS through QTP?

[venkatesh]

Hi Ankur, This is Venkat. I’m regular visitor of your blog. I’ve a query. While browsing on human validation I found Captcha image value in the view source of the page. Can we automate this one using QTP?

[Ankur]

One word answer- NO

Some points to support it:

1. CAPTCHAS were primarily designed to prevent automated logins into the system.
   
2. CAPTCHA values changes on every refresh of the page, so though you might find some hint of it in source you might not get the same value on script-run
   

In one condition, you might validate it, if you know all CAPTCHAS values present in the system. that ways you can store the values with the corresponding image in an array and check the image. If image match, use THAT value. This is not a perfect solution though, I would not recommend automating CAPTCHAS using QTP.

Hi Venkatesh,
We can try below(Descriptive Programing) to get CAPTCHA.

Code:

Browser("Display Banner - Diversify").Page("Display Banner - Diversify").Image("Register - Custom Animated").Click k=Browser("Display Banner - Diversify").Page("Display Banner - Diversify_2").WebElement("html tag:=FONT").GetROProperty("innertext") msgbox k Browser("Display Banner - Diversify").Page("Display Banner - Diversify_2").WebEdit("tcode").Set k

Hi, about this action, I can propose the method of Motevich's:
+save the capcha image
+use OCR soft to recognize it
+run
It only work with the clearly capcha.^-^;others case we cannot(such as the capcha of rapidshare several months ago)

Please note it no good for trying to attach or destroy some website by this way!

Hi Ankur,
i have one querry regarding script.
I was trying to parametrize the value from datatable, i wrote like this

Code:

Dim AgentName AgentName=Datatable.value("AgentName") Dialog("Login").Winedit("AgentName:").Set datatable("Agent",dtClobalsheet)

When i run the script it was picking the value from datatable and result window was also displaying the value which was taken from the datatable, while it should display some error. Because i wrote dtClobalsheet rather then dtGlobalsheet.
Even i did not wrote Option Explicit.
Can you let me know why it happened?
