Our Class Inheritance Parser has just received a major update. Among the changes is the support for Constructor Arguments.

Most programming languages allow you to pass parameters when you create an instance of your class. These are called constructor arguments. VBScript’s constructor (the Class_Initialize sub) can not receive parameters, so usually we must resort to solutions as a “Build” or “Start” sub, in addition to the actual constructor, in order to relay the parameters.

Well, No more! The class parser allows support for constructor arguments in the most native and fluent manner.

Hey all,
We’ve been experiencing some problems with our server’s DNS resolve mechanism. To put it less enigmatically, the site was down for several hours, and we’re not sure we’re out of the woods just yet.

We’re working on the problem (or rather, our tech support is), and hope the issue will be resolved soon.
In the meanwhile, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Solmar Knowledge Networks – AdvancedQTP’s staff.

I’ve been doing some digging into QTP’s test-objects, hoping to find some undocumented methods and techniques. Armed with the power of PDM.DLL, I’ve explored each test object, and have come up with these interesting results, all of which don’t show up on your regular intellisense autocomplete.

Solmar Knowledge Networks attended HP software’s Israeli CAB meeting. We were presented with a quite advanced version of QTP 10 – Atlantis , and unlike the presentation given at HP Software Universe, this was an actual live presentation, which gave us a closer look at some of the features and rumors around the version. Here are our impressions.

However, this picture was really captured on my new MacBook-Pro laptop, and I really had QTP running on it (just like I’m writing this post from Windows-Live-Writer on it). No Photoshop tricks were involved (other than converting the image to JPG).
