- Agile development is getting bigger and bigger.

What does this have to do with Quicktest Pro?


- 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.

Just have your build process launch a vbscript to kick off your
automated suite on remote machines. Continually poll those machines
until the suite finishes. Provide more machines so your test run in
parallel to make it faster.


- QTP can't handle BDD (it's possible with BPT but it's really
expensive and
doesn't work very well).

Whats BDD? Selenium is a web based testing tool only. What if you have
a  java application? What about web services? You are going to have to
start using different tools for this testing.
How are you going to report the results? You are going to have to
create custom build reporting.

QTP does all of the above nicely.


- VBScript is and old language and doesn't support a lot of features
supported by newer languages like Python and Ruby.

 What features does python and ruby provide that is essential for test
automated that VBScript doesn't provide?

- VBScript is not used for development, so DEVs and QAs can't code on
the
same language and improve knowledge sharing.

How much code sharing does QA really share with DEV? VBScript is
probably the easiest language to code in and its pretty lightweight.


What do you think about that? I really interested in your views.

*** I will think about new points and add here later ***
