How HP QuickTest Professional works
HP QuickTest Professional allows even novice testers
to be productive in minutes. You can create tests
using the script-free Keyword View feature and simply
declaring the test steps. QuickTest Professional also
lets you capture test steps via an integrated recording
capability. The product documents each step in simple
language and displays an integrated screenshot via
the Active Screen feature.
Unlike traditional scripting tools that produce scripts
that are difficult to modify, HP QuickTest Professional’s
keyword-driven approach lets you easily insert, modify,
data-drive, and remove test steps.
HP QuickTest Professional also addresses new appli-
cation builds. When an application being tested
changes, such as renaming a “Login” button to “Sign In,”
you only need to update one reference in an exten-
sible markup language (XML)-based Shared Object
Repository (within the Object Repository Manager
feature), and the update is propagated to all tests that
reference this object.
With HP QuickTest Professional you can provide local
system monitoring by testing system performance mea-
surements correlated to a business process, reporting
on thresholds exceeded, and analyzing and tracing
performance errors to their root cause.
You can publish test scripts to HP Quality Center soft-
ware, allowing other QA team members to reuse your
test scripts and eliminating duplicate work.
Collaborate across workgroups.
HP QuickTest Professional has been designed for test
automation collaboration among tester workgroups. It
includes technology for managing application defini-
tions or objects in the Object Repository Manager.
Based on an open XML format, the Object Repository
Manager lets HP QuickTest Professional users collaborate
and share application object definitions. HP QuickTest
Professional keeps object-level changes synchronized
among users throughout test creation efforts.
In addition, you can define object repositories before
an application is available to QA. Users can also share
function libraries, application asset definitions, and
data-driven spreadsheets across workgroups.
With process guidance, you can embed a user guide
within HP QuickTest Professional and propagate best
practices with interactive help to walk users through
the activities and link them to the right application
areas within the software. Two built-in processes are
provided—keyword driven processes and business
process testing. Users can also create their own
custom processes.
Accelerate testing.
Several features are available in HP QuickTest
Professional to improve your use of the tool: main-
tenance run mode, an enhanced, enterprise-level
integrated development environment (IDE), and check-
point management. In addition, using Keyword Views,
Auto-documentation, and Active Screen features, you
can create and modify test scripts without writing a
single line of code.
