Qtp 11 not identifying .NetObjects
Our app was upgraded from existing Infragistics 2009.1 to 12.2 . We needed to make sure app had no bugs after upgrade.Therefore our automation Framework needed to keep up with that.
Here is following upgrades on App
1.Upgrading from 32Bit to 64 Bit
2.Upgrading to Xp sp 3 to 7
3.Upgrading Dot Net FW 3.5 to 4
4.Upgrading to Net Advantage 12.2
Simultaneous Qtp upgrades needed for automation
1. DotNetFW 4.0 which our new app uses does not support our existing Qtp 10 we need 11 or above.
2. Since Dev Team will be getting Infragistics Net Advantage 12.2 , I suggested we must be equipped with Test adv 12.2

During my analysis these are the following findings :
1. Qtp 11.5 or Unified Functional Testing Tool 11.5 is only compatible with ALM (App LifeCycle Managment ) 10 or above . Meaning if you are using QC you are screwed.
2. Test Advantage 12.2 requires at-least Qtp (Uft) 11 or above.
3. Unlike Qp 11.5 , Qtp 11 is compatible with both QC and Alm.

Now I chose Qtp 11 as we had our scripts integrated with QC.But Qtp 11.0 was not able to recognize any objects on the application .
After slogging for 3 days , here are the solutions :-)
Solution 1 :
1.Install Qtp 11 , along with dot Net addins (at the start of qtp installation , installer asks whether to install .net addin)
2. Install Infragistics Test advantage 12.2 (Demo is free of cost ). (Doing this triggers the part of Qtp brain which handles DotNet to start working).You can disable infragistics(Desktop>Start>Infragistics) in version settings.
3.Once you have installed go to/ Documents and Settings and search for "Sample" , infragistics provides you with sample DotNet app to test .Try working on it .Qtp should be able to recognize , now start testing on your app.
Solution 2:
1.Install Patch QTP_00699
2.Here unpacking takes more time and looks similar to installation and sometimes installation will overlap unpacking.If is asks "Another installation is in process do you want to continue " Press Yes. I had mistaken this part and paid huge price.
3.Install Patch QTP_00709. (Your qtp will start to identify objects as Winobjects in record mode )
4.Install Patch Qtpnet_0051
Now your Qtp should be able to record objects in good old " Swf " fashion .
Note :All the patches mentioned above comes with QTP 11 ,yeah that's right even with Demo version.
