1. HISTORY
 In the year 2001 Mercury Interactive (Software company) developed and released QTP “Quick Test
Professional” version 5.5 .
 QTP is a software application used for Automation Testing process to test the software applications,
more useful for “Functional” and “Regression” testing. This was testing with the GUI testing.
 Later on QTP was developed by Hewlett Packard (HP) in 2006. In 2012, HP renewed QTP with the
new name UFT “Unified; during renewal HP’s UFT version was 11.50.
 The name “Unified” reveals that UTF is an advanced and combined “GUI and API (service)” testing
tool, strongly test the functionalities of the front-end and back-end of the software application. HP said
that the new released of UFT 12.01 provides better documentation support as compare to UFT 12.0.

2. INTRODUCTION
QTP stands for Quick Test Professional, a product of Hewlett Packard (HP). This tool helps testers to
perform an automated functional testing seamlessly, without monitoring, once script development is
complete.
HP QTP uses Visual Basic Scripting (VBScript) for automating the applications. The Scripting
Engine need not be installed exclusively, as it is available as a part of the Windows OS. The Current version
of VBScript is 5.8, which is available as a part of Win 7. VBScript is NOT an object-oriented language but
an object-based language.
HP UFT is an automated functional Testing tool that helps testers to execute automated tests in order
to identify any errors, defects or gaps in contrary to the expected results of the application under test..

3. FEATURES SUPPORTED BY UTF
 The HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT 11.5) is actually a combination of HP QTP (for testing GUI)
and HP Service Test (for testing API). Mixture of QTP and ST will be available on a single graphic
user interface. So from now onward, user does not have to download two different tools while
working.
Fig 3.1: Combination of QTP and ST
 HP UFT will also facilitate open source Continuous Integration(CI) systems like Jenkins and
Hudson.(Continuous integration (CI) is a software engineering practice in which isolated changes are
immediately tested and reported on when they are added to a larger code base. The goal of CI is to
provide rapid feedback so that if a defect is introduced into the code base, it can be identified and
corrected as soon as possible.) While, understanding the need of phone (Smartphone’s + tablets)
among users, HP is more giving attention on this HP’s UFT 11.5 will deliver an enhanced support for
mobile testing. Team Foundation Server (commonly abbreviated to TFS) is a Microsoft product that
provides source code management (either with Team Foundation Version Control or Git),
reporting, requirements management, project management (for both agile software
development and waterfall teams), automated builds, lab management, testing and release
management capabilities.

 HP UFT facilitates test automation collaboration among teams. Based on an open XML format, the HP
UFT object repository manager lets you collaborate and share application object definitions, keeping
object-level changes synchronized throughout the test creation 2efforts.You can also share function
libraries, application asset definitions, and data-driven spreadsheets across teams. All test artifacts can
be published for reuse and versioned and baselines can be established in a shared asset repository.

 Scripts which has been created iOS, can also work on Android. It will also support emulators and real
devices. The real devices can be taken from the public cloud of collective real devices and/or private
cloud of devoted real devices.

Table 1:Types of tools
4.1. Test Management Tool:(This will be used by the Testers)
Test management tools are used to store information on how testing is to be done, plan testing
activities and report the status of quality assurance activities. The tools have different approaches to testing
and thus have different sets of features. Generally they are used to maintain and plan manual testing, run or
gather execution data from automated tests, manage multiple environments and to enter information about
found defects. Test management tools offer the prospect of streamlining the testing process and allow quick
access to data analysis, collaborative tools and easy communication across multiple project teams. Tracking of
defects and project tasks are done within one application to further simplify the testing.

Fig 4.1: Test management
This Test management tool involves with the following steps daily:
1. Creating and maintaining release /project cycle /component information
2. Creating and maintaining the test artifacts specific to each release /cycle that we have-
requirements, test cases, etc.
3. Establishing traceability and coverage between the test assets
4. Test execution support – test suite creation, test execution status capture, etc.
5. Metric collection/report-graph generation for analysis

4.2.Configuration management tool:(This will be used by All)
Configuration management (CM) is a systems engineering process for establishing and maintaining
consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and
operational information throughout its life. CM applied over the life cycle of a system provides visibility and
control of its performance, functional, and physical attributes. CM verifies that a system performs as intended,
and is identified and documented in sufficient detail to support its projected life cycle. Configuration
management is also used in software development and deployment, where it is called software or unified
configuration management (SCM or UCM).
Developers and others involved in the project can use SCM to keep track of artifacts, including source
code, documentation, problems, changes requested and changes made. Software configuration management
tools, such as Chef and Puppet, can be used in concert with version-control tools for source code management,
such as Apache Subversion and Git.

Fig 4.2: Configuration management
4.3.Static Analysis Tools(Developers)
The value of static analysis is:
 Early detection of defects prior to test execution
 Early warning about suspicious aspects of the code or design by the calculation of metrics, such
as a high complexity measure
 Identification of defects not easily found by dynamic testing
 Detecting dependencies and inconsistencies in software models such as links
 Improved maintainability of code and design
 Prevention of defects, if lessons are learned in development
Typical defects discovered by static analysis tools include:
 Referencing a variable with an undefined value
 Inconsistent interfaces between modules and components
 Variables that are not used or are improperly declared
 Unreachable (dead) code
 Missing and erroneous logic (potentially infinite loops)
 Overly complicated constructs

 Programming standards violations
 Security vulnerabilities
 Syntax violations of code and software models
4.4 Test data Preparation Tools:( This are used by the Tester)
Test data preparation tools allow (enable) data to be selected from an existing database or created,
generated, manipulated and edited for use in tests. The most sophisticated tools can deal with a range of files
and database formats. It is used for Analysis and Design, Test data generation.
4.5 Test Execution Tools:(This are used by the Tester)
When people talk about the ‘testing tool’, it is mostly a test execution tool that they think of,
basically a tool that can run tests. This type of tool is also known as a ‘test running tool’. Most tools of this
type get started by capturing or recording manual tests; hence they are also known as ‘capture/playback’
tools, ‘capture/replay’ tools or ‘record/playback’ tools. It is similar as recording a television program, and
playing it back.

5. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF QTP
Advantages:
1. It is easy even for a non-programmer to understand QTP and start adding test cases.
2. Support for record and playback and ability to edit scripts after recording. Also different recording
modes are provided in QTP viz. Normal, Analogy & Low level.
3. Excellent Object Identification process / mechanism
4. Support for different addins like Java, Oracle, SAP, .NET, Web Forms, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Web
services, Main frame (Terminal Emulator) etc.
5. Ability to let you enhance the existing tests even without the AUT (Application under test) through
active screen.
6. Supports all popular Automation frameworks - Keyword driven testing approach, Data driven testing
approach, Modular testing approach, Hybrid frameworks etc.
7. QTP comes with an inbuilt IDE, which is simple and easy to use.
8. QTP uses VBScript which is English-like and very easy to learn and gain expertise. We have plenty of
resource available to learn VBScripts.
9. Microsoft Object model can be implanted in QTP easily (Example – Word document object, Excel
Object, Outlook Object, ADO objects, File system objects, DOM etc)
10. QTP can be integrated with Test management tools like QC (Quality Centre), Test director and also
functional test tools like Win runner. The test cases can be mapped to the automation scripts and be
executed from QC (Quality Centre) itself. Also, it can kick off Win runner test execution from within.
11. Easy to maintain different types of suites viz. Smoke, Sanity, and Regression etc.
12. It comes with loads of inbuilt properties and methods in QTP as well as inbuilt functions in VBScripts
13. Support for XML.
14. Use of Data tables/Excel files are easier and provides a variety of methods to play around with rows
and columns.
15. Easy to maintain test iterations and data driving the tests through configurations.
16. Test reporting with all necessary details for analysis is provided.

Disadvantages:
1. Cost is high – License and maintenance.
2. Cannot run multiple threads/instances – For example the Grid support available in Selenium, where we
can run multiple instances of the application on different browsers at the same time.
3. Slow in execution when compared to even open source tools like Selenium.
4. You get support from HP only when you renew the license.
5. You need to buy different add-ins – Java, Oracle, SAP, .Net, Seibel, PeopleSoft etc.

6. SELENIUM VS UFT
SELENIUM UFT
Its an open source testing tool hence it does not
require license and is free
It is commercial tool and hence it requires a license is
expensive
Using Selenium only web applications can be
automated
It is used for testing client-server applications. It can
test web- based as well as desktop applications
Selenium has the option of using wide range of IDEs
like Visual Studio, Eclipse, Netbeans
QTP tests can only be developed in QTP IDE
Selenium supports JAVA, .NET, Ruby, Perl, PHP,
and many other programming languages
HP UFT only supports VB script
Selenium dose not have such built in object
repository, but object can be managed by using UI
element user extension
HP UFT comes with built in object repository. Object
repository development and maintenance is quite easy
in HP ALM
There is no such tool that integrates with Selenium HP UFT integrates with test management tool like HP
Quality Center
It supports dialog box partially All types of dialog box is supported by it
It supports addition of plug-ins to include features that
are not provided by core Selenium
It supports different environments like SAP, Oracle,
.NET but user need to purchase add-on license for
them
Web automation testing with Selenium incurs less
cost
Automation testing is expensive due to licensing cost
It has no official support, since it is an open source HP QTP offers very good technical support
Selenium supports mature Object Oriented Language
like Java
HP QTP supports only VBScript . Hence Object
Oriented Approach to Test Automation becomes
challenging
Script requires more time to develop and maintain HP QTP is more user friendly and scripts are
developed quickly.
With new Selenium release the API changes. So Test
Scripts need to be updated
Backward compatibility is powerful. Latest version of
HP ALM supports code that was developed 5 years
back
