Tips to Optimize QTP Scripts to Yield Better Performance We use Automated-testing tools to optimize our manual testing processes. But in order to reap full benefits of any automated testing tool, we must know the complete ins and outs of the tool otherwise it would be a huge waste of money spent on automation. We have to learn the automation tool very thoroughly. We also need to learn the language of the automation tool to do coding more effectively and efficiently. I believe that a software testing tool is as good as the person who is actually using it. I have been getting so many emails from my esteemed readers asking about HP QuickTest Professional tutorials, QTP tips and tricks etc. Some readers even complain that their QTP scripts are too slow to execute.

The following functions isolate the date portion and time portion, respectively, of a Date/Time value: Function Description DateValue Returns the date portion of a Date/Time value, with the time portion “zeroed out”.

Example : Dim dtmTest As Date dtmTest = TimeValue(Now) At this point, the time portion of dtmTest is 9:15:20 PM, with a date portion of 0 (12/30/1899). The following functions are used to isolate a particular part of a date: Functi...
