Yet another gripe about QTP...Why oh why can't I cut and paste calls to component actions between test cases??
The automation strategy we're using at my firm is a component method. This is where you build out resuable code modules for basic functions and then link them together within individual test cases with custom script code sprinkled about in a few places within those cases.
However, what annoys me about this is some of those cases may only vary in one or two key code lines..and yet I have to build the cases from scratch each time.
Instead of being able to cut and paste a code snipet like
RunAction "UsefulModule1 [LW_StandardComponents]", oneIteration,
I have to Select Insert>Call to Existing Action> and then select the component and then select the action within that component. Its just frustrating. I could build scripts SO much faster if I could copy calls...oh well--I suppose its the nature of the beast...
