Before I place my thoughts here, I would like to tell you guys that I am a performance testers and no way deals with QTP... Ok, now back to business.. Yes QTP and LR has functionality to check the server response by placing text checks,but their applications are totally different in reality. If i am client and need to test many test cases (in 100's) for my web application, then i would better go for QTP which is basically designed for this functionality.. However, if my requirement is to check the performance of same test cases under heavy load then i will take LR and simulate the same Please remember that your selection of tool determines the budget of your project and as well as how well you meet your requirements.. QTP helps you to conduct client side activities, which LR wont (leave click and script for time being)/. Also qTP can measure client side activities(response time including Browser rendering..), and QTP scripts are more robust to code change/build changes than LR, as LR scripts will fail with single change in NAME -PAIR value but QTP script will work untill GUI cordinate changes.. So in short make a wise decision based upon your need.. Hi All.

Of course, we do not want to load the servers yet not ensuring things are working as per expected. QTP may have capabilities of checking more than text and image checks. Myself is not a QTP user and will not be able to comment much. But QTP is to pass in different parameters to ensure the application is responding properly. While LoadRunner passes different parameters to negate caching effect on the server. The main difference on an high view will be functional testing versus performance testing. Although I do not have an exact answer for you, my advise to you is only that LoadRunner's purpose is to load test the server not the client application while QTP purpose is to test the client application. Hope that helps :) Well, the checks are actually to verify if the server is responding correctly. Of course, we do not want to load the servers yet not ensuring things are working as per expected.

I have a great confusion regarding QTP and Loadrunner. In Loadrunner, we perform text check and to make sure whether we are on the right page.(which means that we are also checking functionality using these web checks.) So why do we need QTP(in which we add these checks to check the functionality) if we can do the same thing thru Loadrunner. Plase explain. Hi,
