The main reason is during agile development while developers finish the story they run the test suite at their end as well and then checkin the code to the build server where through cruise control build gets run.
if you use QTP then say if u ve 5 developers they need to run at their end same time then u need 5 concurrent QTP licenses which is very expensive. secondly configuring through eclipse IDE is not that easy. ( not sure) so its always advisable to use open source like selenium or RUBY+watir etc. On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 2:10 PM, siva prasad <[email protected]>wrote: > Leo, > > In agile, we develop the build as per storyboards(requirements).
