In the Checking structure of created folders example I used a text file as a source, containing manually prepared folder names to check for. Today I want to show how file/folder structure could be captured automatically. Data Record Declaration For this example, data will be stored in Dictionary object serving as a dynamic array of records. Sample file [...] ...

“Refactoring is a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior. Its heart is a series of small behavior preserving transformations. Each transformation (called a ‘refactoring’) does little, but a sequence of transformations can produce a significant restructuring. Since each refactoring is small, it’s less [...] ...

QTP Action at a glance      “Happy Path” Test Flow    The screenprint above demonstrates sample “Test” Flow designed using QTP Actions. “Happy Path” testing, or conformance testing, or checking can be characterized by 2 attributes: it is scripted, and it ignores everything that is out of scope. Scripted here does not mean a program [...] ...

In the previous post I warned about possible synchronization issues while copying a complex and/or large file-folder structure. To ensure reliability of the operation performed we may verify the structure that was created. We need to answer the following questions before designing the script. Which folders and files should it verify? Which way should it [...] ...

How to create a complex folder structure by using a template In the previous post I provided code example that creates a folder and then applies security permissions on it. However, as per requirements, user folders often come with a predefined structure of folders and some files created by default. Sure, we can write script [...] ...
