Exam
Earlier, with QTP 10.0 (or other versions), to get certified in HP AIS, people were giving two
certification exams - QC exam (Code: HP0-M31) and QTP exam (Code: HP0-M39), but after
releasing QTP (ALM)11, you just have to give single exam to get certified, e.g. HP AIS –
3. Functional Testing v11 (Code HP0-M47) or HP ASE- Functional Testing v11 (HP0-M98),
etc.
Why to Choose QTP Certification?
Although, we all know, QTP (UFT) is an advanced and very famous functional and
performance testing tool, most of the testers and developers like to learn UFT to develop
and test the application effectively & efficiently. So, these two HP QTP certificates can boost
your resume as well as your knowledge too. If, you clear these two exams, you will acquire
good position in the organization and online market place.
Earlier too, people had given the certification exams and cleared too, but that was not so
