Technical Challenges/Rectification under project:

Unstable application, often unavailable up and running environment

Integration of automated script of current and legacy application

PDF automation – QTP is not flexible with automation of PDF file. I was not able to read the dynamic value from the file though all possible options/add-in.

Rectification: 1.Open PDF file, Copy the content & paste into the notepad. Read the texts and validate as per scenario 2.UFT has an option for PDF check point

Testing the dynamic values dependent on time zone in to the application

Rectification: Read the current time zone of the machine and then find the values from external file for that time zone.

Automation object loses its reference to real time object in application when page sync is taking a high time:

Rectification: Under progress (Get object method is not working at run time)
