HP QuickTest Pro 10 Beta

My current employer is about to participate in a beta test for HP’s QuickTest Professional 10 release, also known as “Atlantis”. This release was demo’ed at HP’s Software Universe expo this summer. I did not attend this event, but from what I have read, it has some long-awaited features.

Tighter integration with Quality Center 10

Source Control:

• Check-In/Check-Out, at the user level
• Versioning, single resource, multiple folders and project-wide

Resource Management:

• View OR’s, datatables, and library code from QC
• Dependency visibility and warnings
• Automatic path tracking when moving resources
• Shared OR user information

QuickTest Pro Features

Reports:

• Traceability to a line of code in an action script
• Export to Word, PDF, or through XSL
• Include Windows Performance Monitor data, related to test steps
• Include bitmap attachments

User Interface:

• Improved autocomplete and intellisense
• Tasks and Comments pane
• Code-zone identifiers - blocks of code like ‘If…Then’ marked with blue lines
• Custom toolbars

General Goodies:

• Enhanced bitmap checkpoints
• Local copy of test includes linked resources
• Load external actions without previously associating them

We don’t yet have Quality Center 10, so I will also be interested in the beta version’s integration with previous versions of QC. And the ease of converting/migrating scripts and resources from previous versions of QTP.

I will post future articles about this beta test as it progresses.
