Application Object

Description

You can create only one instance of this object.  Use this object to return other UFT One objects and to perform application level operations such as loading add-ins, creating or opening tests, and launching or closing the UFT One application.

Remarks

  • When designing and running UFT One automation scripts in a tool that supports the loading of type libraries for editing and running scripts, you can use the new operator to load the UFT One type library before creating the QuickTest Application object.

    Syntax:

    Dim app as Application
    Set app = new Application

    or, if other type libraries are loaded in your tool, specify the UFT One type library as follows:

    Dim app as QuickTest.Application
    Set app = new QuickTest.Application

  • When designing or running UFT One automation scripts in a tool that does not support the loading of type libraries, use the CreateObject() function to create the QuickTest Application object.

    Syntax:

    Set app = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")

  • In a UFT One test run, do not watch or evaluate a QuickTest.Application object. UFT One's attempt to watch itself may cause unexpected behavior.

Example

Open UFT One and Connect to ALM  | Start UFT One and Open a Test with Associated Add-ins Loaded  | Start UFT One and Open a New Test
