BPT/QTP

Business Process Testing combines two roles, the Subject Matter Expert (or Business Analyst) and the Automation Engineer, to create reusable Manual, (and then Automated) Components of a test. The SME creates the description and steps of each component, how it operates, it's valid input and expected results. The automation engineer (or the SME) can convert the manual components to simple high level Automated Non-Scripted Components. The automation engineer can use QTP, if necessary, to convert Components to more complex Scripted Components.

Business Process Components are created initially in Quality Center, and the tests they comprise are created in a drag and drop building block manner of these components. Similar to Actions, Business Components address a single business aspect of a test, such as Logging In or Performing a Product Search. Like Actions, they support parameters for flexibility and scalability. You might use different User names and passwords, or search for different types of media by title or artist, respectively. Tests are then built by stringing together reusable component modules, reducing maintenance at a modular level, all inside Quality Center.

Automated components come in two flavors: Non-Scripted (the default) and Scripted. Non-Scripted Automated Business components can be created from Manual components inside Quality Center, and are just the high level capabilities of QTP, displayed in a view similar to QTP's Keyword View. These Non-Scripted automated components lack the ability to add decision logic. This keeps complexity at a straight forward level, so that non-developers, such as your SME, BA or Manual Testers can create automated components. However, they can be converted to Scripted Components within QTP, where the Automation Engineer can add more complex decision logic in the Expert View.

Business Process Testing also includes Application Areas. This is where the additional support functionality of these components are created and managed by the Automation Engineer. This includes the familiar aspects of QTP including the Object Repository, Recovery Scenarios and VBScript Library Files.

One advantage of Business Process Testing scripts is that since they retain their manual step descriptions, so they can be executed step by step by a manually tester, even after they have been automated.
