Do you know you can work on the parameter files directly?

Do you know you can work on the parameter files manually both on and LoadRunner (LR) and Quick Test Professional (QTP)?  What we are referring to is that you can make changes to the parameter list via the file system instead of going through the Vugen or QTP interface.  Sometimes when you have a huge list of data that you want to test (especially in LoadRunner), it becomes an overwhelming task where you have to manually key in the values into the parameter list.  By knowing how to work with the parameter files directly, you can save a lot of time!

Quick Test Professional (QTP) is another product from HP/Mercury (originally from Mercury Interactive) that provides automated functional testing capabilities.  The current version at the time of this writing is QTP version 10.0.  Generally, QTP is a record and playback tool similar to LoadRunner.  Although they look similar in terms of record and playback, they differ greatly in terms of what is recorded and what is playback.  QTP identify and records objects on the windows and rewrite the process of launching the object in a script (VB).  Example, QTP identifies and recognizes the click activity of the button on the web-browser or the web-application.  However, LoadRunner records whatever request made after the button is clicked (although Web Click & Script protocol supports this).
