You can measure how long it takes to run a section of your test by defining Transactions. You define transactions within your test by enclosing the appropriate sections of the test with start and end transaction statements.
Transactions can be inserted anywhere in the script
There is no limit to the number of transactions that can be added to a test.
For example, you may want to note the time taken to book a flight. In QTP , select the appropriate statement where you want to start your transaction .
elect Insert Start Transaction. Start Transaction Dialog Box opens
Give the transaction a suitable name, say "Booking Time"
A start transaction statement is added in the test
Select the statement where you want to end the transaction
Click Insert > End Transaction
End Transaction Dialog Box Opens with the list of all available transactions
Click Okay. An end transaction statement is added
Lets run the test
In results , the end transaction statement gives the time taken to insert the order
