Facts about QTP and QTP Certification

QuickTest Professional, popularly known by its acronym QTP is an automation testing tool originally from Mercury Interactive which

was acquired by Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2006.

 

QTP is used for functional and regression automated testing. Using QTP, testers can automate user actions on a web or client based computer application and test the same actions for different users, different data set, on various Windows operating systems and/or different browsers. Automation testing using QTP if planned and executed in a proper manner can save considerable time and money. This especially helps in regression testing.

With the release of version 11.50, QTP and Service Test became part of UFT 11.50 software.
QTP is one of the most widely used automation testing tools in the market today with over 60% market share. Due to this reason, skilled QTP professionals are always in demand.

 

QTP Certification

 

HP has introduced an entry level certification for QTP called HP0-M47. The exam is conducted by Pearson VUE in collaboration with HP.

You can take quiz / practice test here to learn more about QTP and the certification.

Automated Software Testing Basics: FAQ

Most QA pros believe automated software testing has value. But questions about which tests to automate, which ones should remain manual and what pitfalls to watch out for often stand in the way of getting started.

Why Developers should know testing too!!

 And, with all due respect to programmers, I like to think that those applications are thoroughly inspected by professional testers before they hit production.

Signs That You’re Dating A Tester!

1. Your love letters get returned to you marked up with red ink, highlighting your grammar and spelling mistakes.
2. When you tell him that you won’t change something he has asked you to change, he’ll offer to allow you two other flaws in exchange for correcting this one.
3. When you ask him how you look in a dress, he’ll actually tell you.
4. When you give him the “It’s not you, it’s me” breakup line, he’ll agree with you and give the specifics.
5. He won’t help you change a broken light bulb because his job is simply to report and not to fix.
6. He’ll keep bringing up old problems that you’ve since resolved just to make sure that they’re truly gone.
7. In the bedroom, he keeps “probing” the incorrect “inputs”.

Outside food not allowed!

Two software testers went into a diner and ordered two drinks. Then they produced sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. The owner became quite concerned and marched over and told them, “You cannot eat your own sandwiches in here!”

The testers looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and then exchanged sandwiches.

Developers Vs Testers

Light Bulb

Question: How many testers does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: None. Testers do not fix problems; they just find them.

Question: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: What’s the problem? The bulb at my desk works fine!

A very old joke on Testing

You probably have heard it/ But then you may not have :)

The Engineering Director of a software company proudly announced that a flight software developed by the company was installed in an airplane and Jet Airways was offering free first flights to the Engineering members of the company. “Who are interested?” the Director asked. Nobody came forward. Finally, one person volunteered. The brave Software Tester stated, “I will do it. I know that the airplane will not be able to take off.”

Be at least 25% productive at work :)
