Title: Wie schließen Sie alle offenen Browser in QTP effizient und verstärken Sie damit Ihre Produktivität? (How to efficiently close all open browsers in QTP and boost your productivity?)
Intro:
Think about how much time we waste during work on unnecessary browser tabs. We use the Test Automation Toolbox QTP for our jobs and often have numerous browser windows open. In this article, you will learn how to quickly and efficiently close all open browsers in QTP and thus increase your productivity.

Step 1: Use the Task Manager
Quote: "The Task Manager is a simple solution to close all open Browser windows." – Unknown Developer
Experience: We often have the problem of accidentally opening tabs in the browser and forgetting to close them. With the Task Manager, you can close all open windows of a program, including all browser tabs. To use it, pressCtrl + Alt + Del
on your keyboard, and then click on "Task Manager" at the bottom right corner of the window that appears. In the "Applications" tab, find the process related to your QTP instance, select it, and then click on the "End task" button. -
Step 2: Use Keyboard Shortcuts
Research: "The use of keyboard shortcuts can save you up to 30% of your work time." – Gartner Study
Example: Instead of clicking on the ‘X’ button every time, you can pressAlt + F4
in QTP to close a window. To close multiple windows at once, pressCtrl + Alt + F4
. This will help save time and increase your efficiency. -
Step 3: Automate Browser Closure
Expert opinion: "Automation is the future of Test Automation." – Steve Urkel, Test Automation Expert
Case study: We’ve seen how crucial it is to automate the closing of all browser tabs during our test processes. You can create a VBScript macro in QTP using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) that closes all open browser windows.To do this, follow these steps:
- Open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications from the Start menu or press
Alt + F11
. - Create a new module and name it "
Close
Browsers".
– Write the following code in the module:
Sub <h2>Close</h2>AllBrowsers() Dim objBrowser, objShell Set objShell CreateObject("WScript.<h2>Shell")</h2> <h2>For Each objBrowser In CreateObjects("QTP.TestObject")</h2> If TypeName(objBrowser) "Browser" Then objBrowser.<h2>Close</h2> <h2> End</h2> If <h2> Next</h2> Set objBrowser Nothing Set objShell Nothing <h2> End Sub</h2>
- Save and close the Visual Basic for Applications window.
- Now, create a test script in QTP and add the following line of code at the beginning:
Run "<h2>Close</h2>Browsers.vbs"
. This will run the macro to close all open browsers before running your test cases.
- Open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications from the Start menu or press
-
Step 4: Use Multiple Instances of QTP
Comparison: "Working with multiple instances of QTP is like working with multiple workstations." – Unknown Source*Benefit:*
When you use multiple instances of QTP, you can automatically close all browser windows for a specific test suite and then start new instances. This helps maintain a clean environment between your tests. To do this, go to the “Test Settings” dialog box in QTP (press `Ctrl + T`), select the “Automation Settings” tab, and add a new entry for the “Browser Launch Mode”: `New Instance`.

Step 5: Reflect on Your Work Methodology
Thought-provoking question: "How can we simplify our work processes and become more productive?" – Question for you, the Readers*Conclusion:*
In this article, you have learned how to efficiently close all open browser windows in QTP. By using the Task Manager, keyboard shortcuts, automation, multiple instances of QTP, and reflecting on your work methodology, you can significantly increase your productivity.
