Reporter Object is used for sending information to the test results. With the help of this object you can:
* >Report the status of test results (like pass, fail, warning)
* >Enable/Disable reporting of step(s) following the statement.
* >Retrieve the folder path in which the current test's results are stored.
* >Retrieve the run status at the current point of the run session.
There are some very important methods and properties associated with it.
ReporterEvent Method:
I think this is a very common method used with Reporter object. I am sure even if you have worked on QTP for a relatively short period, you would have come across this.
Its syntax:
Reporter.ReportEvent EventStatus, ReportStepName, Details
where EventStatus can be:
0 or micPass: If this step runs test passes which is shown in test report.
1 or micFail: If this step runs test fails which is shown in test report.
2 or micDone: Used to send message to the test report and does not affect status of test.
3 or micWarning: Again, used to send warning message to the test report and does not affect status of test.
and
ReportStepName is name of step
and
Details are the user defined details for the given step.
For Example:
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Login Authorization", "The user-defined step passed."
Filter property
There can be situations where we don't want the full status displayed on the test report. This property can be used to selectively filter the status of your tests.
Its syntax:
Reporter.Filter = NewMode
where NewMode can be:
0 or rfEnableAll: This is the default mode. All reported events are displayed in the Test Results.
1 or rfEnableErrorsAndWarnings: Only those events with a warning or fail status are displayed in the Test Results.
2 or rfEnableErrorsOnly: Only those events with a fail status are displayed in the Test Results.
3 or rfDisableAll: All events in the Test Results are disabled.
ReportPath Property
This is used to get the path in which current test results are stored.
Its syntax:
Path_of_Results = Reporter.ReportPath
RunStatus Property
This is used to get the current status of the run session
Its syntax:
Reporter.RunStatus
For Example:
if Reporter.RunStatus = 0 then flag=1;

Quality Center
Quality Center
A Quality Center project is a database for collecting and storing data relevant to a testing process. For QuickTest to access a Quality Center project, you must connect to the local or remote Web server where Quality Center is installed. When QuickTest is connected to Quality Center, you can create tests and save them in your Quality Center project. After you run your tests, you can view the results in Quality Center.
Quality Center helps you maintain a project of all kinds of tests (such as QuickTest tests, business process tests, manual tests, tests created using other Mercury products, and so forth) that cover all aspects of your application's functionality. Each test in your project is designed to fulfill a specified testing requirement of your application. To meet the goals of a project, you organize the tests in your project into unique groups.
You can instruct QuickTest to automatically submit a defect to a Quality Center project for each failed step in your test. You can also manually submit a defect for a specific step to Quality Center directly from within your QuickTest Test Results window. These options are only available when you are connected to a Quality Center project.
Saving Tests to a Quality Center Project
When QuickTest is connected to a Quality Center project, you can create new tests in QuickTest and save them directly to your project. To save a test, you give it a descriptive name and associate it with the relevant subject in the test plan tree. This helps you to keep track of the tests created for each subject and to quickly view the progress of test planning and creation. In QuickTest, click Save or choose File > Save to save the test. The Save Test to Quality Center dialog box opens and displays the test plan tree.
The Save Test to Quality Center dialog box opens only when QuickTest is connected to a Quality Center project. To save a test directly in the file system, click the File System button to open the Save QuickTest Test dialog box. You can return to the Save Test to Quality Center project dialog box by clicking the Quality Center button.
Submitting Defects to a Quality Center
When viewing the results of a run session, you can submit any defects detected to a Quality Center project directly from the Test Results window.
To manually submit a defect to Quality Center: or click the Choose Tools > Quality Center ConnectionQuality Center Connection button to connect to a Quality Center project. Choose Tools > Add Defect or click the Add Defect button to open the Add Defect dialog box in the specified Quality Center project. The Add Defect dialog box opens. You can modify the defect information if required. Basic information about the test and any checkpoints (if applicable) is included in the description. Click submit button.
To automatically submit defects to Quality Center: Choose Tools > Options or click the Options button . The Options dialog box opens. Click the Run tab. Select the Submit a defect to Quality Center for each failed step check box.
