Have you ever got frustrated with the arbitrary names QTP give to test-objects?
When you want it to take the name from the “HTML ID”, it takes it from the the object’s “CLASS”; When you want it to take the “PROG ID”, it takes it from the “NATIVECLASS”; and in general, it seems that QTP has a very poor logic when it comes to choosing Test-Object names.
Actually, QTP has a very good logic, it’s just the it works on avarage, and is bound to fail in some applications. Luckily, we can override it, and force QTP to name objects according to the properties we choose. This QTip will show you how.

Chad Ullman offers this great QTip, that makes working with external Win32 DLL’s much MUCH easier:
QTP’s Extern object is extremely useful for extending the power of QTP by exposing all of the Win32 API. However, because Extern is a reserved object in QTP, it is instantiated once when QTP starts and persists through all your test runs, and this can cause all sorts of problems. Luckly, Chad shares his simple yet very effective QTip for overcoming these problems.

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.

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.

A few months ago, I’ve posted an embedded screenshot solution at the following article.
After QTP9.5 was released, the solution had suddenly stopped working. After some research and thank to Stefan Thelenius posting a MetaDescription for QTP reports, I’ve found a solution for the problem.
The original article has been updated - here.

Well, of course I’m lying (sort-of). QTP can’t really run natively on Macs.
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).

Motivation
The QTP native log has many drawbacks, especially if your scripts relay heavily on Functions. While Actions are reported in an hierarchical structure (i.e. nested according to their call chain), events reported by function are reported in a flat, unsorted manner. This can be illustrated by the following example:
The following QTip will allow […]

Background
Today we’re going to deal with an often overlooked feature of QTP – RegisterUserFunc. Though RegisterUserFunc can offer some real-world benefits, newcomers to the QTP world are unfamiliar with it, and QTP experts look down on it (when comparing it to their custom frameworks). I intend to shed some new light on this feature and […]
