HP QuickTest Professional supports functional and regression test automation that addresses every major software application environment. This solution uses the concept of keyword-driven testing to simplify test creation and maintenance. It enables testers to build functional and regression test cases by capturing flows directly from the application screens using specialized capturing technology. Test experts also have full access to the underlying test and object properties via an integrated scripting and debugging environment.
HP QuickTest Professional is automated testing software designed for testing various software applications and environments. It performs functional and regression testing through a user interface such as a native GUI or web interface. It works by identifying the objects in the application user interface or a web page and performing desired operations, it can also capture object properties like name or handler ID. HP QuickTest Professional uses a VBScript scripting language to specify the test procedure and to manipulate the objects and controls of the application under test.
QuickTest Professional provides a software development environment designed to meet the needs of experienced and junior Test Automation Engineers. The programming language is derived from vbscript - this makes it accessible to anyone with even minimal development experience. Experienced Automation Engineers or developers will have little difficulty in becoming proficient QuickTest Professional developers - the online help and built-in tutorial certainly provides a firm foundation to grow from. The actual organization of the code is left up to the Engineers - the test organization must take responsibility for organizing and maintaining this code base.
