QTP TESTING: In general, the term QTP stands for Quick Test Professional, and nowadays, it is also known as UTF or Unified Functional Testing. It is generally considered to be an automated functional testing tool that helps testers while performing regression testing. However, it is considered one of the most advanced tools as it does not require the tester's attention all the time, or we can say in simple words that it does not force them to keep an eye always. In addition, it is capable of working automatically as soon as the tester completes the script, which we will discuss later in this tutorial. Typically, UTF uses Visual Basic scripts to automate certain types of applications, and sometimes this type of script is also abbreviated as VB script.

Why QTP is the best testing tool?

• It is an icon-based tool that automates the Functional and Regression testing of an application.
• It provides both features i.e. record and playback.
• By using the QTP tool we can test desktop as well as web-based applications.
• QTP testing is based on scripting language VBScript.
• It supports various software testing environments like SAP, Oracle, etc.

Advantages of QTP automation:-

• It supports record and playback
• It is easy to maintain
• It has an excellent object identification process.
• It allows you to enhance existing tests
• It comes with an inbuilt IDE
• Different types of suites like smoke, regression, sanity, etc.
