This is an introduction video to Quick Test Professional (QTP) from HP. Part of the HP Quality Center tool suite, HP QuickTest Professional can be used for enterprise quality assurance.

HP QuickTest Professional is an 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 (such as mouse clicks or keyboard events); 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. To perform more sophisticated actions, users may need to manipulate the underlying VBScript.

Although HP QuickTest Professional is usually used for “UI Based” Test Case Automation, it also can automate some “Non-UI” based Test Cases such as file system operations and database testing.
