Hi Leonardo, Thanks for sharing such good things with us.I agree that QTP do need to improve not only IDE interaction wise but in the area of functional support as well. Selenium I think is the best one to challenge QTP as this time, although I haven't worked much on it but have some idea about Test scipts design and execution using the same.... :)
HP is concentrating more on releasing new versions of QTP without making many significant changes from the previous versions and license cost keeps increasing as new version comes. It would be great if we can have an complete IDE based tool with advanced intellisense support as that of Microsoft Visual Studio, with testing framework support of tools like Selenium, supporting more languages other than VB Script only.
