What is the most efficient way to check if the current QTP test execution is interactive, i.e. not part of a QC test set execution launched from the QC test lab?
Do you guys know a cool way? WR used to have a batch run flag which reliably was cleared for all executions from within the IDE. Maybe QTP has something like this, and I overlooked it?
First, I thought about looking at the OnError
property:
Set qtApp = getObject("","QuickTest.Application")
qtApp.Test.Settings.Run.OnError
now returns one of these possible values:
"Dialog", "NextIteration", "Stop" or "NextStep".
This would allow me to look at the OnError
setting, which probably is <> "Dialog" and <> "Stop" when execution is part of a test set, but:
No need to go to the automation object, it is exposed in the Setting
object.
If Setting("IsInTestDirectorTest") Then
Print "Run from QC"
Else
Print "Not run from QC"
End If
Note that TestDirector (TD) is the historical name of QualityCenter (QC).
