KnowledgeInbox (by Tarun Lalwani) website is an effort to share my work on Quick Test Pro (QTP). QTP is a testing tool used for regression and functional testing of an application. QTP provided by Mercury Interactive is a “Record & Playback” automation tool. So is it about explaining the features of QTP and one more case study on using QTP? No… the website will help in giving more insight into some of the QTP features making them easy to understand and use, it will explore things that can be done with QTP and some of which not documented anywhere. Apart from this I have developed some libraries which will definitely improve your experience with QTP. The website is going to be an on-going work. Many more things to be explored!
