ExecuteFile Method vs LoadFunctionLibrary Method

Using ExecuteFile Method

ExecuteFile statement executes all the VBScript statements in a specified file. After the file has been executed, all the functions, subroutines and other elements from the file (function library) are available to the action as global entities. Simply put, once the file is executed, its functions can be used by the action. You can use the below mentioned logic to use ExecuteFile method to associate function libraries to your script.

‘Action begins
ExecuteFile "C:\YourFunctionLibrary.vbs"

'Other logic for your action would come here
'.....


Using LoadFunctionLibrary Method

LoadFunctionLibrary, a new method introduced in QTP 11 allows you to load a function library when a step runs. You can load multiple function libraries from a single line by using a comma delimiter.
'Some code from the action
'.....

LoadFunctionLibrary "C:\YourFunctionLibrary_1.vbs" 'Associate a single function library

LoadFunctionLibrary "C:\FuncLib_1.vbs", "C:\FuncLib_2.vbs","C:\FuncLib_1.vbs", "C:\FuncLib_3.vbs","C:\FuncLib_4.vbs", "C:\FuncLib_5.vbs"  'Associate more than 1 function libraries

Basic information about MAVEN

Maven:      Maven is used to manage the dependencies and we can say this as build tool – which means it is used to setup everything which is required to run your java code independently.   This can be applied to your entire java project.     It generated source code, compiling code, packaging code to a jar etc.   Maven provides pom.xml which is the core to any project. Create new variable in system through environment variable – MAVEN_HOME – PATH WHERE YOU STORED AND PATH OF THE BIN FOLDER PATH   INSTALL MAVEN IN ECLIPSE IDE:   Navigate to help – Eclipse Marketplace – Search Maven – Maven Integration for Eclipse – INSTALL.   Once you installed then restart eclipse. Then right click on pom.xml and verify the option like Maven build, Maven clean, Maven install and Maven Test etc.   Maven will download all the dependency jars in to local repository called .m2.   M2 folder is basically inside Users – username – m2.   All the jars will be placed in a folder
