QTP Directory Structure1?

When saving a test, you assign it a name. A test name directory is automatically created and all the files related to the test are saved in the test name directory. By default, QuickTest creates certain files and directories in each test directory.

• ACTION0: This directory contains files that control all actions, except ACTION0, in the test directory.
• ACTION1: This directory contains a log of user actions on objects as these were captured during recording.
• SCRIPT.MTRS: This file captures the user actions on objects. This file resides in the ACTION1 directory.
•  DEFAULT.XLS: This file contains the data that you specify in DATA TABLE to parameterize your test.

QuickTest Professional enables you to compress the test folder to conserve hard disk space on your computer and to ensure easy transfer of tests within a network or over the Internet. To compress the test name folder:

1. From the QuickTest Professional menu bar, select FILE → EXPORT TEST TO ZIP FILE. The EXPORT TO ZIP FILE dialog box appears.
2. In the EXPORT TO ZIP FILE dialog box, specify the path where you want to save the zip file, and click OK.
