What is keyword view and Expert view in QTP

The Keyword View enables you to create and view the steps of your test in a keyword-driven, modular, table format. The Keyword View is comprised of a table-like view, in which each step is a separate row in the table, and each column represents different parts of the steps. You can modify the columns displayed to suit your requirements.

You create and modify tests by selecting items and operations in the Keyword View and entering information as required. Each step is automatically documented as you complete it, enabling you to view a description of your test steps in understandable English.

Each operation performed on your application during a recording session is recorded as a row in the Keyword View.

For each row in the Keyword View, HP QuickTest displays a corresponding line of script in the Expert View.

Advanced testers can view and edit their tests in the Expert View, which reveals the underlying industry-standard VBScript that QuickTest automatically generates. Any changes made in the Expert View are automatically synchronized with the Keyword View.

The Expert View is composed of statements coded in the Microsoft VBScript programming language. The Expert View provides an alternative to the Keyword View for testers who are familiar with VBScript. You can also create function libraries in HP QuickTest using VBScript.
