If your using QuickTest Pro 11 I highly recommend that you install patch QTP_00709. The patch fixes the following issues:
For an updated list of all patches available for QTP 11 check out the Patches section in my article: QTP 11 Support Matrix with Patch Updates
1. If the QTP_00699 - Support Testing on 64-Bit Applications (For Specified Technologies) patch was not installed on 64-bit operating systems, all .NET 4.0 controls on 32-bit applications were recognized as SwfObjects.
2. Recovery scenarios did not work in BPT wrapper tests.
3. Run-time errors were displayed if you ran a business component that contained a QCUtil.CurrentTest.Name step.
4. Function libraries that were created from an application area, opened in read-only mode.
5. In Quality Center 10.00, the Parameters of Test dialog box opened when you added QuickTest 11.00 tests to the execution grid.
6. If a QuickTest test called a Service Test test (and both tests were stored in Quality Center), the run results for the Service Test test were not uploaded to Quality Center at the end of the run session.
7. If you renamed a QuickTest action after inserting a call from it to a Service Test test, an error occurred during the run session.
8. QuickTest crashed or an OS blue screen appeared when using a User-Defined / Non-HLLAPI emulator on Windows 7 with Office 2007/2010 installed.
9. You could not view the baseline history for scripted components that were stored in version control-enabled Quality Center projects.
10. In QuickTest, if you tried to delete an application area that was associated with one or more components, QuickTest mistakenly opened a message box asking you to confirm the deletion of the application area instead of informing you that the application area is in use and providing you with further instructions. This occurred only if the application area was moved to a different location in the Quality Center/ALM Test Resources module after a component was associated with it.

can you give me the link to download the patch QTP_00709, thanks
Jhon »You can download the patch QTP_00709 here. I’ve also added the link to my post – thanks!
QTP 10/11 Object spy Can’t See WPF Objects, QTP has all the add-ins(.NET/WPF) installed but no luck.
i been searching in forums but i cant find any new ideas, any help will be appreciated
First make sure that when recording you check the check option “Record and run test on any open Windows-based application” option. Also have you installed any patches? I know there is a WPF patch QTPNET_00062 – that fix Various WPF Add-in Issues.
QTPNET_00062 Read Me:
Readme:
PROBLEM :
This hotfix fixes the following problems:
1. QuickTest Professional sometimes caused .Net 4 WPF applications with multiple AppDomains to crash.
2. QuickTest Professional sometimes caused an error message to be displayed by the application when
spying on a specific WPF combo box.
This hotfix also enables you to set a registry setting that instructs QuickTest to recognize WPF UI elements that
QuickTest does not recognize by default.
Example: By default, an element of type System.Windows.Controls.Canvas
will not be captured by QuickTest in the Object Spy, Learn, Record, or any
other mechanism. This hotfix enables you instruct QuickTest to identify
elements of this type.
Hope that helps – Cheers~Joe
@Oscar – QTPNET_00062 is not available on HP site, i was told to use WEB_00073, but that is not much of use. Anyways this is how I usually works on WPF
1> Try to load WPF application from QTP (systemUtil.Run)
2> Then use Object Repository and click on +Object icon( button to add object in repository)
Also in case you use multiple Screens, try to open WPF in primary Window.
Hope this will solve your problem.
All the best!!
Hello Joe, First .. thanks for a huge pool of information for all !!!
About patches, I am using QTP 11 with IE 8 browser ( bhomanager addon is enabled ) , not able to use refresh and navigate functions, qtp doesnt record any browser navigations either.
please help ! much appreciate
thanks !
shreya » Thanks Shreya! Have you taken a look at HP’s article KM538333 Tile:Browser object methods (Back, Forward, Home, Refresh, Navigate, etc.)
are not executed?Hope that helps.Cheers~Joe
Hello Joe,
yes i did try this before, disabled all add ons except bhomanager , – but i got general run error upon execution.
Second possible cause which i found on internet was – enabled protected mode, which i couldnt regulate ( due to restricted permissions ) but i lowered the privacy settings to “accept all cookies”,
I still have same issue,
any thoughts ?
Thanks !
Hi,
QTP is working very slow while doing any operation like add anobject, highlight an object , etc for WPF objects,
Even, it takes more than 30 seconds to perform single click action on WpfButton
Any patch or solution?
Thanks,
Sanchit
Sanchit » Hi Sanchit – I don’t see any WPF patches for the issues you are having – that does not mean that HP doesn’t have a hot fix. You might want to dbl check with them. I have seen similar issues with applications that have large, deep, object hierarchies, or a large number of objects in a screen, some of which may not be visible, or apparent. I would try and disable the QTP Active Screen capture feature, go to Tools->Options->Active Screen, and set the Capture Level to “None”. Hope this helps. Cheers~Joe
I can’t seem to find the PeopleSoft patch QTPPS_0003 on the support site anywhere. Do you have a link to that or a copy of that?
tommy do » Hi Tommy – Sorry the problem might be because of a type – the name of the file should be QTPPS_00003 – I was missing the extra zero. Just in case I’ve also uploaded the file to my download section:
http://www.joecolantonio.com/downloads/. Cheers~Joe
Wow. that’s awesome. Thanks for doing that! All of quicktest stuff now is so buried in their website as opposed to when it was owned by mercury.
Hi
I m using QTP 11 and wanna use it with FF 3.6. But it is not identifying the objects in FF 3.6.
Any patch available
– Ramnjit
Joe » Hi Ramnjit – There is a QTP 11 patch QTPWEB_00063 – that provides official support for testing Web applications in Firefox 3.6. Hope it helps your issue. Cheers~Joe
Hi joe,
I m using QTP11 on IE8 with application environment as .Net, Silverlight 4.0. on windows 7. QTP is recognising primary object while interacting with application at one button click IE gives error & close entire application not get opened till qtp window is open.
Can you please guide?
Thank You,
Ramesh
ramesh » Hi Ramesh – Sorry since I don’t use the Silverlight add-in I have not seen this behavior before. You may want to contact HP support and see if there is a hotfix for this.
Hi,
I am also facing the same issue with QTP 11 on IE8. Is this issue resolved for you.
Can you please guide?
Thanks,
Madhu
Can you please let me know where I can get the pacth QTPNET_00062? I searched HP support page as was unable to locate this patch.
My problem: I have a WPF application. I can spy this application with QTP’s spy in any enviroments except 2003 server. In all other environment (windows 7, XP, 2008) by spying the WPF application, I get an WPFwindow. However in 2003 it returns me a normal window object (which is not correct). I have the exact installtion (QTP11 with two hot fixes QTPNET_00051 and QTP_00709) in all environments. I aslo truned on the Adds-in.
Do you have any idea what can cause this issue in 2003 server enviroment?
Vali » Hi Vali – I uploaded QTPNET_00062.exe to http://www.joecolantonio.com/download. Since this is a HP hotfix and not an “official patch” they don’t normally give it out unless you contact them directly. As always I am placing it here a convenience but it is always recommended to contact HP support first
Cheers~Joe
Hi Joe,
Can you please send/mail me the exact link to download the hotfix –> “QTPNET_00062.exe”
Akash Rastogi » You should be able to find QTPNET_00062 in my download section: http://www.joecolantonio.com/downloads/
i’m trying to interact with wpf objects for example wpfList object but i’m getting no where. i have tried using the different functions or methods available but like i said i’m getting no where. for example in QTP(10 or 11) i have tried using the object reposotary and object spy but when i tried to access the objects inside the wpfList list view it seems like qpt does not know how to find them. i have to be missing something, when i used the object reposotary to learn the objects qtp sees the objects i want to interact with but when i run the script objects in the wpflist dont do what i tell them to do, like open when i call the click method.
i know i’m sort of repeating myself but i’m getting very frustrated, any help would be appreciated
oscar » Hi Oscar – I know hoe frustrating QTP automation can be and unfortunately these types of issues are usually hard to troubleshoot. When you use QTP 11 to spy on the object what “Class Name” does QTP recognize them as? I created a simple WPF app and added a WpfList control with 5 items.
I’m able to record and run a QTP script that recognizes the wpflist and all the items in it without issues. Are you sure the WPF add-in is loaded? Also make sure your Record and Run Settings have the option “Record and run test on any open browser” and “Record and run test on any open Windows-based application” are selected. Cheers~Joe
thanks for your feedback,
just like you suggested i already had made the qtp configuration changes.
QTP: has no problems recognizing the wpf objects, for example for this case qtp sees the WpfList as the class name.
here is one of the statements i have tried: using Object repository
WpfWindow(“WpfWindow”).WpfList(“listView”).GetItemsCount
i get a count of 0, but there are 2 items in that list, they represent 2 different buttons.
can you please post a snashot of your code, i wanna see how you made it work if thats no problem
oscar » Hi Oscar – here is the screenshot – . Can you send me a quick screenshot of your app? When you say buttons are they actual button objects inside the WpfList?
i dont see your screenshot
yes, the WpfList window has the wpfButton and i want qpt to interact with them like if i tell qtp to click the button it should be as simple as:
WpfWindow(“WpfWindow”).WpfButton(“SignalIO”).Click
Or also i have tried
WpfWindow(“WpfWindow”).WpfList(“WpfList”).WpfButton(“SignalIO”).Click
BUT NONE works
i cant add screenshot here i will sent you an email instead, thanks for willingness to help
Hi I am automation an application using QTP. Application is developed in .NET 4 Framework in which custom controls DevExpress and WPF are also used for the development. In one of the screen one of the Button is getting identified as “WpfButton” which is recognized by QTP and the Type of this button is “System.Windows.Control.Button”. Issue I am facing is while running as QTP performs the click operation on this button the application crashes and an exception messages appears. I also tried to click on button using SendKeys method and MouseClick operation of Mercury device replay but none of them did worked. Click operation or pressing the Enter key on the button don’t work. Exception message appears is as follows:
An unhandled exception occured, and the application is terminating.
Priya Shah » Hi Priya – I created a simple WPF application that contains wpfbuttons (System.Windows.Control.Button). Using QTP 11 I can click on them without any issues. Are you able to add them and highlight them from the object repository? What OS are you using.
HP did have a WPF patch QTPNET_00066 that Fixed Various WPF Add-in Issues BUT for some reason its no loner available from their patch site. You might want to contact HP and see if they have any hot-fixes for the issue you are seeing. Cheers~Joe
Hi Priya,
I am facing the same issue, have you resolved it?. if so, could you please tell me ?
Hi,
I have installed QTP 11 with TE addin(for AS400 )
I have windows 7 installed on my machine.
can you tel me – is there any patch I need to install additonally?
Murugan » Hi for an updated list of all patches available for QTP 11 check out the Patches section in my article: QTP 11 Support Matrix with Patch Updates. I would install all the patches that are critical and all the win7 patches. Are you having any specific issues? Hope this helps you. Cheers~Joe
Hi,
I have a windows 7 x86 machine installed QTP11 and have installed QTP_00699 patach the many of the applications have been installed via MS APPv when i try to record window base application this is not recording even when opening my computer any ideas?????
Paul Swaab » Hi Paul did you figure this out yet? I’m not familiar with MS App-V so I can’t repro your exact situation. To narrow down the issue are you able to record against an app –like notepad — that wasn’t installed using App-V? Dumb question are you sure that the ‘Windows Application’ tab has the ‘Record and run test on any Windows-based application’ selected?
Hi,
Its not only APP-V when i try to record from the start menu i.e My Computer Microsoft office 2010 Word or any application it does not record the systemUtil.run i can manually type this in and it will launch but after that what ever i record it does record I have qtp 11 on XP machine and i have no problems i have checked on setting and option and they are the same setting on XP and windows 7 for QTP. If i record web the same thing happens it does not record the systemutil but after that it does record any actions taken
Hi Joe,
I have installed QTP 10 on windows xp, for some reason the QTP is working really slow like while opening a test, closing a test or saving a test etc…

I am working on SAP web UI applications with QTP 11.0. I am having trouble spying the objects in the web table. QTP is recognizing the web table but not the objects in that table. Here is the recorded script looks like. When I replayed the same script its failing in the last step. QTP could not identify the “Account Identification” object. Can you please help me?
Browser(“Logon – SAP Web Application”).Page(“Logon – SAP Web Application_2″).SAPButton(“Log On”).Click
Browser(“Logon – SAP Web Application”).Dialog(“Windows Security”).WinEdit(“Edit”).Set “test_xxx”

Hi Joe,
I am working in virtual machine as per my client requirement.
In virtual machine I have installed QTP11, the OS is Windows7 and IE is IE8.
While I am working with QTP, QTP recognises the IE8 browser as window.
Please suggest, how to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Sneha
Sneha » Hard to say. I know it should work since i do run test on similar configurations. Have your tried the basics like:
1. Close everything start QTP first and confirm that the correct add-ins are loaded then start the Web app
2. Clean browser cache/history reboot and re-try
3. Does this happen on all VM ie8 machines or just this one?
Cheers,

Hi Joe,
I want to test Silverlight 4.0 Application using QTP 11. When I open the application using QTP then my system goes into hang state for about 2-3 minutes.
my questions:
1. whether QTP 11 supports testing of Silverlight 4.0 Application coz in the documentation it is mentioned support only for Silverlight 2.0 and 3.0?
2. Is there any patch available using which QTP 11will support testing of Silverlight 4.0 Application?
3. Is there any documentation available to test the Silverlight application using QTP?
It will be a great help from you if you will help me to find the answers of the same………

You *must* call HP Support directly at (800) 633-3600 to obtain access to patch QTPNET_00116 because it is a HOTFIX patch NOT available ANYWHERE on the HP Support site. Infragistics will tell you it is against their agreement to directly provide access to this patch. A link you may have seen in a search “http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/software.html?compURI=1172122#tab=TAB3″ will only waste your time!

Hi Joe,
Problem faced:
We are currenly evaluating the trial version of QTP on a machine in United Kingdom.We login from India remotely to this machine and work on this machine. The .Net based application is crashing when I try to record using QTP.
This is a desktop based application. The Application under test does not crash everytime.It only crashes on a particular section of the application ,where there is a table(grid) with links to click and open another section of the application. As soon as I click on the link ,the application under test simply closes .
Can you help me with this?

Hi Joe,
problem to recognize the SwfTable Object using QTP 11.
When you select the SwfTable, it gets selected as “SwfObject”.
Note: Previous versions (.net 3.5), it get selected as SwfWindow(“name”).SwfTable(“tableName”) , now its shows as SwfWindow(“name”).SwfObject(“Object”).
Installed the following patches
- QTPNET_00096 & QTPNET_00099.
- Enabled the WPF add in also during recording.
This workaround is not solved the problem
Hi Joe,
We are trying to automate our window application which is devolped in .net 4.0 Platform and WPF(mvvm) .We are using QTP 11.0 and i had installed the WPF plug ins and aslo the patches QTPNET_00062,QTPNET_00051,QTP_00709. But when i use the Object spy to locate my objects the whole page is identified as a single window with no other child objects and also no wpf objects are recognized.I tried with a sample WPF application everything is working fine. But in the case of my project alone nothing is working.Please help me as we are in a seroius issue.
dhamo » I’ve seen issues when the .NET Framework version 4.0 was installed after QuickTest Professional was installed. If you are using 4.0 this is what HP recommends:
If user wants to work with .NET 4.0, it is best to install it before installing QuickTest. If .NET 4.0 is installed after QuickTest, manually register two .NET DLLs as follows:
1. If working on a 64bits operating system, it is required to install patch QTP_00709
2. Open a command prompt (Start > Run > type “cmd” > Click “Ok”)
3. Navigate to \GlobalAssemblyCache\Net4
4. Execute the following commands:
..\..\bin\GACRegUtil4x86.exe -i Mercury.QTP.Agent.dll
..\..\bin\GACRegUtil4x86.exe -i Mercury.QTP.WpfAgent.dll
If above doesn’t work, HP Support strongly recommends performing a detailed-guided un-installation http://www.joecolantonio.com/2011/08/31/qtp-video-%E2%80%93-how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-of-qtp/

Hi,
I have a windows 7 machine installed QTP11 and many of the applications have been installed via MS APPv when i try to record window base application this is not recording. Is that any application to automate or execute the script, we need QTP and AUT (Application Under Test) on the same machine? Because we have desktop base application with ready QTP scripts works on WinXP (QTP and AUT instaled),Without App-V. Those same script not work with Win7(QTP installed) and with app-V(AUT installed). Is that one of the solution QTP installation on MS App-V server where AUT installed (How to install QTO on App-V. Your guidence will appreciated.
Thank you for your supprt,
Kind Regards, Abhijeet.
Abhijeet » Hi Abjijeet – I’m unfamiliar with App-V. I did a quick check on HP’s KB and could not find any info on this. You might want to contact HP and ask if Ap-V is supported. Does anyone else know a workaround for Abhijeet?
Good People,
I just stumbled upon this website while googling for some information on QC 11/BPT/QTP 11. And reading by some of the contents here, it appears you seem to be doing a great job in helping others.
Anyways here is my situation, we currently have QTP 11 and QC 9.2 (with BPT) . We are planning to upgrade to QC 11 in coming weeks and then start our test automation development using QC 11/QTP 11/BPT tool set. While going through HP QuickTest Professional 11.00 Readme I came across comment “You cannot perform a remote execution of a business process test on a Windows 2008 R2 QuickTest computer. “.
Our QTP 11 machines have Windows 2008 R2 as OS.Does that mean we won’t be able to run BPT scripts on them from QC? or has this been already addressed in some patch by HP? Any responces will be appreciated.
Regards,
Bhart
Bhart » Hi Bhart – first let me congratulate you for actually looking at the read me file
I actually never noticed this before. I’m not aware of any patches that add the ability to run BPT test on a Windows 2008 r2 machine. I did open a ticked with HP support to find out if there was a patch or hot fix that I missed but they confirmed that this is still a limitation. I did put in an enhancement request but I doubt this will be resolved any time soon. Sorry for the bad news.
Thanks Joe, for your quick response. I’ll start looking at other options/alternatives.
Regards,
Bhart
Bhart » HP just sent me the enhancement request number: QCCR1J27700
Hi Joe
Thanks for your wonderful articles. My issue is for Context menu (opened by right clicking an object). In the context menu, there are some objects for e.g. combobox. I want to perform the operation on that combobox. but not able to add the combobox in the OR. pls suggest how we can perform the operation on the objects which are in a context menu
Regards
Shilpa
Shilpa » Hi Shilpa – Are you able to spy on the objects or do you get an error? If you did a quick test recording against the combobox does QTP add the objects to the OR?
I am working on a Windows 7,64-bit virtual machine. I have installed QTP 11 and QC Explorer 10 on it. When I am trying to work on the Windows application having .NET objects, QTP recognises them as Winobject rather than SwfObject. I have installed the patch QTP_00699 but still of no use. Can you please suggest me the patches to resolve this problem and the path from where I can download them ?
Saurabh » What version of .NET are you using? If its 4.0 check out my post on QTP .NET 4.0 Object Recognition Issues

I try call DIIObject from c: drive (Set DllObject = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance) , currently getting error as “Cannot load Assembly” after installing QTPNET 00699 Patch. Can any one help to reslove this issue.
App- windows 7 , QTP11
Ran » That’s weird – has any one else seen this behavior after installing the patch? This error usually means that the .Net object’s assembly file is not installed.
Hi Joe,
Thanks a lot for the article. Could you please advice as of how to go about with automating remedy application using qtp.
Thanks & regards,

Gopakumar » Thanks Gopakumar! I’ve never used remedy but I’ll try to find something.
Hi,
We are trying to automate an application developed using PROGRESS 4GL. The objects are not recognized as WinEdit instead they are getting recognized as windows.
Can you please let me know whether QTP will be of any help? If not, is there any other test automation tool that will help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Adarsh
