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!

Capturing screenshots to QC in test result can quickly eat up all the space on the QC Server. This makes it sensible to capture images only in case a Test has failed. This can allow easy debugging of Test Cases to see what error had occurred when the test failed. Adding this functionality to your [...]

This is my first ever article on BPT and to be frank I am not a very great fan of BPT framework. But that is what i am currently working on. It actually feels like someone handing a 2mm pistol to a Elite force commando and asking them to fight with the same. But as [...]
