Output Values

Output Values


Using Output values we can retrive properties of objects ,database field values ,text presenting objects and can store on data table in test result window.
Types of Output Values:

1. Standard output value
2. Text output value
3. Text area output value
4. Database output value
5. XML output value



1. Standard Output value:

 We can use standard output values to output the properties values of most objects.

Steps to follow for Inserting Standard Output Value:

QTP should be in Recording mode --> Insert menu -->Output value--> standard output value --> show the object --> click OK --> select property --> If required Change the column name  --> click OK -->click OK -->stop recording.

2. Text Output value:

We can use text output values to output text strings displayed on a Web page or application. When creating a text output value, We can output a part of the object's text. We can also specify the text before and after the output text.

Steps to follow for Inserting Text Output Value:

QTP should be in recording mode--> Insert menu--> Output value --> Text output value --> show the text -->select one of the option{output text/text before/text after} --> click modify if you want to change the column name --> click OK

click OK--> check in runtime table after executing.


3. Text Area Output value:

We can use text area output values to output text strings displayed within a defined area of a screen in a Windows application.
Steps to follow for Inserting Text Area Output Value:

QTP should be in recording mode --> insert menu -->output value --> text area output value -->Mark the text area -->If required click modify the column name --> click OK --> again click OK --> check in run time table after executing.

4. Database Output value:

We can use database output values to output the value of the contents of database cells, based on the results of a query (result set) that we define on a database.
Steps to follow for Inserting Database Output Value:

Insert menu--> output value --> Database Output value--> choose specify SQL statements manually -->click next -->click create -->Select Machine Data source --> Select Driver (QT_flight32) --> click OK --> enter SQL statement {select * from orders} --> click Finish --> select data cells --> click OK --> Execute and see the results in run time table.

5. XML Output value:

 We can use XML output values to output the values of XML elements and attributes in XML documents.
Steps to follow for Inserting XML Output Value:

QTP should be in recording mode with web environment --> Insert menu --> output value --> XML output value from application --> Show the XML document --> select elements --> click OK -->Stop recording.

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMeter. If

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We can do this b

A Tutorial to Send Email using JMeter

Sending email is a mundane activity in any professional’s life. It’s a common medium for communication nowadays. Therefore performance testing of email server is not only important but necessary for an organization. JMeter can be helpful to perform load testing in such scenarios. In this tutorial, we will see how JMeter can be used to send email. We will use SMTP Sampler of JMeter to send an email. JavaMail API is needed to enable email functionality in JMeter. Download it from  here  and paste the jar in JMeter’s lib folder. Now, perform below steps to configure SMTP Sampler. Add a new Thread Group under Test Plan. Right click on Thread Group and select Add–>Sampler–>SMTP Sampler. We need to populate SMTP server’s details in this sampler. We will use GMail for sending an email. For this, enter these values in SMTP Sampler fields. Server: smtp.googlemail.com, Port: 587. Provide values in Email Address From and To fields of Mail Settings section to specify sender and reci
