Thanks in advance.

Assuming that we have a test script say "Test" on desktop... please include the below code in a vb file namely Test.vbs

Code:

Dim qtApp 'Declare the Application object variable Dim qtTest 'Declare a Test object variable Dim qtResultsOpt'Declare a Run Results Options object variable Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")' Create the Application object qtApp.Launch' Start QuickTest qtApp.Visible = True' Make the QuickTest application visible qtApp.Open "C:\Documents and Settings\testingsvs_qa\Desktop\Test",True' Open the test in read-only mode Set qtTest = qtApp.Test qtTest.Run ' Run the test WScript.StdOut.Write "The Run Status is:" & qtTest.LastRunResults.Status' Check the results of the 'test run qtTest.Close' Close the test Set qtTest = Nothing' Release the Test object Set qtApp = Nothing' Release the Application object

Now in order to execute QTP script from command line we have to execute the above created vbs file from command prompt which will in turn launch QTP, open the script, run it and will display the result in command prompt only. Open command prompt and write following code: And press enter

C:\Documents and Settings\Ravi_Gajul\Desktop>cscript Test.vbs
Note : C:\Documents and Settings\Ravi_Gajul\Desktop is the location of Test.vbs..update this accordingly

If the script passes the result is declared in command prompt as follows:
The Run Status is: Passed
