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). Read the rest of this entry »

SilkPerformer licensing mechanism is based on three mainly groups. Namely Web, Standard and Premium. The differences in each group is the type of technologies being used in the group. For example, Web encompasses the commonly used protocols while Standard focuses on additional components. This is somewhat similar to LoadRunner in terms of grouping the protocols in bundles. The following table is the full list of what the group covers in SilkPerformer 2008 (which is also available in the Release Notes). Read the rest of this entry »

LoadRunner requires license to function. The license entitles to (1) the protocol the user is permitted to run, (2) the number of Vusers (or concurrent users it can generate) and (3) the type of monitors available to the user. After LR8.1 FP3 (standing version of this writing is LR9.0), the license model have changed from individual or group protocols to Bundle Licenses. In a Bundled License, the protocols of the same genre are grouped together (e.g. Web (HTTP/HTML), FTP, Winsock are grouped together into Web & Multimedia Bundle). This (in my opinion) provides a neater way to manage the licenses. Also, the all monitors are made available as “All Monitors” with exceptions to the diagnostics modules (e.g. J2EE, .NET, SAP, etc.).
