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.
