What is Unified Functional Testing (UFT)?
HP UFT 11.5 is the latest version of HP QTP. Previous version of QuickTest Professional was QTP 11.0. Its name has been changed to UFT since it is a combination of two of HP products, HP QuickTest Professional and HP Service Test. All previous version of HP QTP are available in HP UFT.
Should I learn on latest version of QTP (UFT11.5) or older version (QTP11.0)?
Most of the organizations using QTP are moving to latest version UFT11.5. Moreover, if you try to download trial version of QTP from HP site, you will get UFT 11.5. So it makes sense to learn on latest product which is going to be used by all organizations in future.
Which application has been used to teach features of QTP? Is the sample flight reservation application that comes with QTP?
We understand that most of real applications are web based application. Here we have developed and used a custom web based application for learning QTP. As a corporate trainer, every time I used to go and deliver QTP/UFT training with the standard desktop based flight reservation application (that comes by default with HP QTP/UFT), participants wanted to use something, which is different, preferably a web-based application, which is what most of them would eventually work on in the real world. They wanted an application, which had more features and test scenarios that could be automated. As part of this book, we have developed a web-based application, which has much more enhanced test scenarios, and will bring you very close to real-time automation.
