QTP Actions

QTP Actions


Actions is a set of logical statements to perform specific test.

There are three kinds of actions:

1. Non Reusable action
2. Reusable action
3. External action

Non Reusable action:

An action that can be called only in the test with which it is stored, and can be called only once.

Reusable action:

An action that can be called multiple times by the test with which it is stored (the local test) as well as by other tests.

External action:

A reusable action stored with another test.External actions are read-only in the calling test, but you can choose to use a local, editable copy of the Data Table information for the external action.


Steps to follow to perform different operation in Actions:

Create an Action:
 Insert-->call to new action-->enter name of the action-->click OK.

Rename Actions:
Select desired action in action drop down box--> edit menu-->action-->rename action-->modify the name-->click OK.

Call an Action: Insert-->call to existing action-->browse path of the test-->select desired action-->click OK.(Note: We cannot edit)

Copy an Action:  Insert-->call to copy of action-->browse path of the test-->select desired action-->click OK.(Note: we can edit this action).

Make an Action Reusable: Select Non Reusable action -->edit -->action-->action properties-->check reusable action check box -->click OK.

Delete Actions: Select desired action in action drop down box-->edit menu-->action-->delete action-->confirm deletion.

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.

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...
