ManualStep Statement

Abstract

The ManualStep statement represents a manual step in a business component. The statement in itself falls under the category of utility statements and not utility objects. Remember there is a difference between utility statements and utility objects.

Before we dig down deep into the usage let’s quickly visit some general questions.

In the interview usually, you might be questioned in different ways like:

1. How to define manual step in QTP?
2. Can you define manual step in UFT script?
3. What are the objects and parameters of ManualStep statement?
4. Is ManualStep is an object or statement?
   
5. If you have business component, can you include business component?

Discussion

First of all, this statement is available as part of Business Components only and cannot be used with regular QTP test script.

Now lets try and understand how it works.

Suppose you have a business component and components with manual steps. If you try open a manual component in QTP or UFT, it converts it to a business component; that is automatically converts each of the steps in the manual component to ManualStep statements, and includes the step name, description, and expected result as argument values of the ManualStep statement.

You can also insert a ManualStep operation to add manual steps to your business component, or edit existing ManualStep statements. All modifications you make in test to the component’s ManualStep operations are reflected in the Component Steps tab and Automation tab of the component in Quality Center and vice versa, post you save the changes.

Points to note here:

1. The manualstep statement is intended for use only with business components.

Syntax

ManualStep(Name, [Description, ExpectedResult])
