Published new chapters to the Software Testing and QTP Automation eBook

Jan. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Software Testing is the process of checking whether the Software or application is
developed correctly according to the expected requirements.Most of the IT departments in any Corporate will be having a separate division for doing Software Testing.Software Testing is being outsourced to some third-party testing experts also.Normally the Software Testing  Teams will be going thro' the requirements and will test/check the Software product whether it is meeting the requirements.The Software will be released to the public only after the Testing Team is satisfied with it.

The biggest challenge in Software Testing is  the "shortage of Time" .i-e Testing
should be done quickly in the short time available between the completion of Software
development and the software release date.Bugs/errors found in the application/software will add more complexity. Because the entire application should be tested again as regression testing once after making any corrections.In summary, Software Testing should be done quickly in short time duration.It is very difficulty to achieve this manually.Automation tools and scripts will help to do to the testing quickly.

QTP is one of such Test Automation Tools. It is developed my Mercury Interactive in
2002. And, acquired by HP (Hewlett-Packard) in 2007.Currently it supports Windows
Operating Environment only Job Opportunity for the people with QTP knowledge is more
comparing to the other tools. You can refer the indeed.com analysis at
