Using the VBScript Reference

QuickTest's Expert View is a VBScript Editor. Therefore, in addition to entering test object statements and other testing-oriented functions, you can manually enter any valid Microsoft VBScript statement. You can also use the Step Generator from the Expert View or from the Keyword View to insert many VBScript statements.

To assist you, the QuickTest Professional Help includes Microsoft's Visual Basic Scripting documentation. The included documentation is composed of three sections, each of which contain information that can be relevant when working with QuickTest:

VBScript—Includes a user's guide and a thorough reference of objects, methods, properties, functions, and other elements that can be used when writing VBScript scripts.

Script Runtime—Describes the Dictionary object, FileSystemObject object, and the Script Encoder tool.

Windows Script Host—Includes overview information and a reference for working with the Microsoft Windows Script Host tool.

Note: Although some of the topics in these three sections may contain both VBScript and JScript information or examples, QuickTest supports only VBScript. Do not attempt to use JScript examples from the VBScript reference in QuickTest.
