QuickTest Pro is a test automation tool originally developed by Mercury Interactive and later acquired by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Packard Hewlett Packard].<ref>http://www.devbistro.com/articles/Testing/Mercury-QuickTest-Professional-Evaluation</ref> This software offers regression and functional test automation for buisness quality control.

=='''Features'''==
QuickTest Pro is not a command line testing solution. It offers a graphical user interface, keyboard support, multiple testing views, and scripting language.<ref>http://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/qtp-quicktest-professional-tutorial-1/</ref>

===Testing===
QuickTest allows for both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_testing functional] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_testing regression] testing. It also supports data-driven testing through spreadsheet software, allowing outputs to be recorded and organized.

===Views===
QTP has two different views for testing, a keyboard view and an expert view. In keyboard view, users modify tests in a table, one row per step. Users can view output values, set loops, and add breakpoints.

Expert view displays test code using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript VBScript].

===Scripting===
QuickTest Pro's VBScript allows for classes, but not other object oriented properties such as inheritance and polymorphism. It also lacks a debugger, however QTP has a debugger provided by HP.<ref>https://h20546.www2.hp.com/main/training/course_details.cfm?Course=00008165&sitepick=US</ref>

===Exception handling===
QuickTest Pro uses recovery scenarios to handle runtime exceptions, this allows testing to be uninterrupted as long as the exception did not affect the memory of the tested application.

=='''Comparison to other tools'''==
Tools such as Cucumber and Capybara run tests from the perspective of the user. Cucumber converts user stories into tests and Capybara simulates a user or web browser. QuickTest Pro is used by programmers to preform specific test cases they code themselves.<ref>Engineering Long Lasting Software p136</ref>

=='''Disadvantages'''==
QuickTest Pro is developed mainly for Windows based systems and it relies on outdated Windows tools like VBXScript. Tests can not be run outside of the QuickTest environment nor are they compatible with all browser types.<ref>http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/unified-functional-testing-automated-testing/demos-documents.html#!&pd1=1</ref>
