LaunchAsUser Method

Supported in version 2023 and later.

Description

Opens the OpenText Functional Testing application as the specified Windows user.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub LaunchAsUser( _
   ByVal Username As String, _
   ByVal Encoded Password As String, _
   ByVal OpenTemporaryTest As Boolean = False _
)

Parameters

Username

The username used to open the application.

If you need to provide the user's domain as well, use this format: <user name>@<domain name>

Encoded Password

The encoded password used to open the application.

Use the Password Encoder tool installed with OpenText Functional Testing to encode the password.

OpenTemporaryTest

Indicates whether to create a temporary test when you open application. Default=False.

Remarks

  • Before launching the application for the first time in a script, you must create an application object using one of the following syntax options:

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

    or

    Set app = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")

    For more information, see Application object.

  • Most automation statements can be performed only after the LaunchAsUser method has been performed. Before launching the application, you can check whether OpenText Functional Testing is already open (Application.Launched).

Example

Copy code
Dim qtApp
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")

If Not qtApp.Launched Then ' If the application is not yet open
    qtApp.LaunchAsUser "qt", "53a1456786332855bfecfe15faf9464cda480410031f" ' Start the application with the specific user credential
End If

qtApp.Visible = True ' Make the application visible
