AVAILABLE NOW – The next generation of everyone’s favorite automated testing tool – Quick Test Professional Version 10.0 from HP. QTP is a comprehensive technology solution that provides functional and regression test automation for major software applications and environments. This testing tool captures, verifies, and replays user interactions automatically and helps testers quickly identify and report on application effects, while providing advanced functionality for tester collaboration.
What makes this new version of Quick Test Professional so revolutionary? Plenty, including new features such as:
- System monitoring while running tests – enables you to monitor the local (client-side) computer resources used by the application instance you are testing during a run session to view the effects your application has on the system.
- Improve portability by saving copies of tests together with their resource files – Now save a standalone copy of your test and its resource files to a local drive or to another storage device using File > Save Test with Resources command.
- Centrally manage and share test assets, versions and dependencies in Quality Center 10.00 – a new resources and dependencies model for storing and managing shared assets, support for asset versioning and baselines, and an asset comparison tool/asset viewer.
- Call actions dynamically during the test run – take advantage of the new LoadAndRunAction statement to load an action only when the step runs, and then run that action.
- Develop your own custom comparers for bitmap checkpoints – this custom comparer is a COM object that performs the bitmap comparison for the checkpoint according to your testing requirements, allowing a bitmap checkpoint to pass even if the image in the application shifts by an amount specified when the checkpoint is defined.
- Centrally manage work items and ToDo tasks in ToDo pane – Enables the creation and management of self-defined tasks, and review a compiled set of the TODO comments from your tests, components, and associated function libraries. For example, use the Tasks tab to provide instructions to another team member during a handoff or to create reminders for yourself. Let QTP do the remembering for you!
QTP 10.0 also makes available a new and improved test results analysis and reporting functionality. Enhance your ability to review run results more thoroughly and efficiently using features such as:
1) Jump To Step, which brings the QuickTest main window directly into focus, allowing the cursor to jump right to the relevant step, and providing more information about a particular node in the Test Results window.
2) Export Test Results to Microsoft Word or PDF Formats, which in addition to HTML format, allows you to share information (together with any local system monitoring data) with your developers and performance testing teams.
3) Add Images to Test Results, using the Reporter.ReportEvent method, which enables adding of an image to run results.
4) View Bitmaps Differences in Bitmap Checkpoints, allows the selection to view the differences between the two bitmaps.
5) Include images in exported and printed test results, when selecting the detailed option. The document now includes all images (including screen captures of steps, expected, actual, and difference bitmaps for bitmap checkpoints, and any images sent to the run results).
QTP 10 now offers support for next-generation development technologies such as: Windows® Presentation Foundation, Web Services, Macromedia Flex, Ajax, Delphi, PowerBuilder, .NET, J2EE, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications.
How can you and your organization benefit from QTP 10.0?
• Enjoy a faster startup time with QTP 10.0, and empower your entire team to create sophisticated test
suites with less training, thereby increasing ROI.
• Establish correct functionality across all environments, data sets, and business processes.
• Fully document and replicate defects for developers, which enables quicker turnaround time on defect fixes to better meet production deadlines.
• Deliver quality products and services, which lead to improved revenues, profitability and customer satisfaction.
• Easily regression test ever-changing applications and environments.
• Enables your testing workgroups to share automated testing assets across teams.

IT’S HERE – A New and Improved version of everyone’s favorite load testing tool – LoadRunner Version 9.5. LoadRunner is a comprehensive technology solution that enables you to obtain an accurate picture of end-to-end system performance before going live, verify that new or upgraded applications meet specified performance requirements and identify and reduce performance bottlenecks during the development lifecycle.
What makes this next generation of LoadRunner so revolutionary? Plenty, including new features such as:
VuGen:
· Protocol Advisor – Which helps you to determine an appropriate protocol for recording a Vuser script
· Exporting Test Results from VUGen scripts to HTML – Can now open Quality Center defects directly from the report
· Service Test – is now fully integrated with LoadRunner 9.5 (simply purchase a license for service test) and automates the testing process for services (SOA)
Controller:
· Set up secure communication channels using Host Security Setup & Host Security Manager – Allows the creation of secure communication channels between the LoadRunner Controller and Load Generators to help prevent hacking and loss of confidential data
· Post Collate Command – Now you can define a Post Collate Command inside the Controller that it will run directly after it collates the results of a scenario run
· WAN Emulation – Enables each load generator to emulate a different network location and eliminates the need to deploy load generators remotely. Now you can accurately test point-to-point performance of WAN-deployed products under real-world network conditions
Analysis:
· Analysis API – create a custom analysis session from the test results, analyze the raw data, and extract key session measurements for external use
· Cross Results Report Summary – New summary report for Cross Results analysis
· Copy/Filter Legend Data – Provides the ability to copy and export graph legend data
LoadRunner 9.5 now offers support for:
1) Windows Vista (SP1) for both the Controller & Generators
2) Microsoft’s .NET framework up to version 3.5
3) SQL Server 2005
4) Agent for the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)
Why do organizations love it?
· Seems to generally load faster than previous versions of LoadRunner
· Click and Script technology lets you record scripts at the user-interface level by clicking on screens for automatic script generation, thereby making the scripting process easier
· New advanced database options which increase performance when importing data from other sources or processing LoadRunner results
· To date, better stability and less crashing.
· Fully compatible with newer versions of Quality Center(QC) 9.2, 10.0 and QTP 9.5 and 10.0
· Supports a wide range of application environments and protocols including Web, SOA and Web Services, Ajax, RDP, Database, Terminal, Citrix, Java™, .NET, and all major ERP and CRM applications (including PeopleSoft, Oracle®, SAP, and Siebel)

Finally – A comprehensive technology solution that enables you to dramatically increase the quality of your critical software applications…It’s available now, as Hewlett Packard introduces Quality Center 10.0!
What makes this next generation of Quality Center so revolutionary?
Nothing – unless you count built-in version control (3rd party version control is no longer needed), the ability to save baselines and libraries, a fully integrated user friendly dashboard, project templates allowing your organization to keep fields and standards uniform across all quality areas, a new test resources module, and enhanced risk based quality management.
Why do organizations love it?
· Dashboard module – Easily setup analysis reports & graphs to monitor quality and project progress at any point in time and view them on the integrated dashboard.
· Built-in Version Control – Check-in and check-out requirements, components, tests, and test resources. Allows comparison between these entities – forget trying to remember who changed what and when. QC 10.0 does the remembering for you.
· Define and use Baselines – The establishment of a baseline allows a snapshot of project entities such as requirements, components, tests, test resources(including links/traceability) to identify milestones of the project or freeze a testing configuration.
· Create and work with templates – Create project templates with workflows and user-defined fields (which help you standardize processes and best practices), and then propagate them automatically across all your projects.
