Learning QTP

It's been a long time between blog posts. Since this blog is mainly for myself, that isn't a problem. :-)

I'm starting to learn QTP and finding that it looks like a real handy tool for functional and integration testing. I'm still trying to get myself to not look at it as an alternate load testing tool and trying to use the interface and not look at each problem as more code to be written. I had the same problem initially with JMeter as well having come from a background where I would normally add a bunch of custom code after the initial script creation.

I'm not a big fan of VBScript but for the purpose at hand I have to say it is probably a better choice than using C like LoadRunner. Easier to create a COM object to be invoked with CreateObject for slicing and dicing of data.

I'm not sure if raw HTML can be pulled in with QTP, yet. I wouldn't be surprised if it can. QTP seems to be a pretty nifty tool. No doubt it will help with future job searches.
