QTP Advantages and Disadvatages

Will be getting the initial focus on development of all new features and supported technologies.

• Ease of use.
• Simple interface.
• Good error handling mechanism
• Presents the test case as a business workflow to the tester (simpler to understand).
• Excellent DDT (Data Driven Testing features)
• Uses a real programming language (Microsoft’s VBScript) with numerous resources available.
• Quick Test Professional is significantly easier for a non-technical person to adapt to and create working test cases, compared to WinRunner.
• Data table integration better and easier to use than WinRunner.
• Test Run Iterations/Data driving a test is easier and better implement with QuickTest.
• Parametrization easier than WinRunner.
• Can enhance existing QuickTest VB scripts without the Application Under Test? being available; by using the ActiveScreen.
• Can create and implement the Microsoft Object Model (Outlook objects, ADO objects, FileSystem objects, supports DOM, WSH, etc.).
• Better object identification mechanism.
• Numerous existing functions available for implementation both from within QuickTest Pro and VBScript.
• QTP supports .NET development environment (currently WinRunner 7.5 does not).
• XML support (currently WinRunner 7.5 does not).
• The Test Report is more robust in QuickTest compared to WinRunner.
• Integrates with TestDirector and WinRunner (can kick off WinRunner scripts from QuickTest).
• Must know VBScript in order to program at all.
• Must be able to program in VBScript in order to implement the real advance testing tasks and to handle very dynamic situations.
• Need training to implement properly.
• The Object Repository (OR) and testing environment? (paths, folders, function libraries, OR) can be difficult to understand and implement initially.
• we can’t done merzeing easly, when compare to winrunner
• we can’t able to check if the Window of Background colour is dynamically changes.
