Overview:

QTP stands for QuickTest Professional. QTP is an automated functional Testing tool which helps testers to execute automated test scenarios in order to identify any errors or defects. It was designed by Mercury Interactive and later on acquired by HP and now Micro Focus.

This testing tool also helps testers to perform an automated functional testing, without monitoring, once script development is complete.

HP QTP uses Visual Basic Scripting (VBScript) for automating of applications. The Scripting Engine need not be installed exclusively, as it is available as a part of the Windows OS.
