PASS/FAIL in QTP

[badri]

Let me explain the problem using an example. Lets say I have to validate a login functionality in a web page. Login is success for "login" and "passwd123" user credentials and for rest throws error message.
In the script using Data Driven I try to login using various users. For a valid user, on login success I check the text and if exists I report a message with PASS else FAIL.

Now my question is when I manually execute this test case, when the valid user is allowed to login and for the rest it throws a message. I PASS this test case.

when I run this data driven script with same logic, the QTP summarized result shows FAILED though the script completed successfully.

what is the correct approach. How to go about handling PASS/FAIL in QTP script.

Hi Badri,

Are you using the conditional statements and then using QTP Pass/Fail?

It should be some thing like

Code:

if (this error message display) then QTP pass else QTP Fail end if

Thats fine..I am using the same way. But try to understand my question.

when i execute the testcase for various users(valid n invalid), the manual test case is PASS.
Similarly, when i run as automated, how should i handle the logic for PASS/FAIL.

Code:

'Valid user name and password username = "abc" password = "def" Call Login("Valid",username,password) 'InValid user name and password username = "xyz" password = "pqr" Call Login("InValid",username,password) 'Login Function Function Login(strValidation,UN,PWD) if strValidation = "Valid" then 'code to validate successful login elseif strValidation = "InValid" then 'code to validate failure login end if End Function
