Hi guys, After a long time, I'm back! As I told here some months ago, I was going to start working on a new project where I would automate tests with Selenium and other tools, but this project didn't happened and I decided to quit the company and joined ThoughtWorks. I've doing real agile development and learning about BDD, TDD, continuous integration and about other automation tools like Selenium/Webdriver, Watir, Cucumber and others. That's the reason I started to think that QTP have to change a lot or it will lose a lot of market share.
These are my main points why I believe QTP have to change: - Agile development is getting bigger and bigger. - QTP can't handle continuous deployment, the tests takes to much time to run and can't be easily integrated with Hudson, CruiseControl or other CI tools. - QTP can't handle BDD (it's possible with BPT but it's really expensive and doesn't work very well). - VBScript is and old language and doesn't support a lot of features supported by newer languages like Python and Ruby. - VBScript is not used for development, so DEVs and QAs can't code on the same language and improve knowledge sharing. What do you think about that? I really interested in your views. *** I will think about new points and add here later *** Regards, Leonardo Ribeiro Oliveira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google "QTP - HP Quick Test Professional - Automated Software Testing" group.
