Help with Running QTP 8.2 script Through Quality Ctr.

[vwimb19826]

Has anyone scheduled scripts to run through QC? I have a number of regression scripts already prepared in QTP what I'd like to do is have the testers either kick them off by accessing QC or scheduling the script to run during off hours. Does anyone have experience with this?

I've done it with WR scripts - and we set TD Parameters on the scripts for start time so we could schedule them for out of hours runs, then added a short loop to the start of the script that looked a little like the following:

Now = get_time();
while((Now< STARTTIME) && (STARTTIME !=""))
{
   wait(1);
   Now = get_time();
}

Sure there was a little more to it, but that was the quickest route we came up with. The second caveat to the while loop is necessary in case you want the script to run immediately.

Cheers,
Dave
