Test suite driver script

As a follow-up to this week posts I thought I should share my automation test driver script. This contains my test case driver logic. All administration of the tests are handled via Web pages and the data is in an SQL Server database. The script is in the Script.mts file in a QTP Test and can be used in QTP (obvious) and for non-GUI tests via vbs standalone as shown in yesterdays post.

From mail:

"When I run TestSuiteDriver.vbs I got this error ('Type mismatch...'). Stefan I would like to use your information but I do not know how.

If you have a time please help me with right direction.

Thank you Valeria"

Hi,

The driver script calls a lot of functions which is not included in the download files. The reason for that is that they may contain sensitive data and I have not made deidentified copies of them (yet). I published my Driver script so that people could get some ideas how to implement test driver logic.

Thanks for sharing the whole code. But if you could also share some explanation with the code that will make the script more easy to understand.
