Test Automation Career - QTP


I have had a lot of friends and testing aspirants asking me , what is it that i should know in QTP to start a career in automation . I shall have a series of posts that will give you an idea of what are the things you need to learn if you want to test a specific technology : e.g : .Net , Java, WebServices etc...
I shall start with the simplest one and my favorite QTP:
  1. Basics of using QTP- use the tutorial and refernce guide for this
  2. Web App testing ( Use the sample HP app for this)
  3. Windows App testing ( Use the sample HP app for this)
  4. VB scripting (from a quicktest point of view)
  5. Advanced concepts in QTP.
  6. Other Advanced concepts like COM objects, Quick test object model 
  7. Make your own DLL’s, work with WSC, and QTP Reserved Objects and Registry changes
  8. Synchronizing  QTP with external applications. 
Hope this helps all those who wanna learn QTP and get into automation.

Software Testing @ Microsoft

In continuation from my previous  series of posts  targeting testing in top few companies from the technology space. After  Software Testing @Facebook  and @Google  we shall now look at Microsoft: Testing@Microsoft Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) are usually just called Test and sometimes Software Testing. SDETs are responsible for maintaining high testing and qualityassurance standards for all Microsoft products. Software Development Engineers (SDEs) are often referred to as Software Development. SDEs write the code that drives Microsoft products and upgrades. Very few teams in Microsoft are still using SDETs to do significant amount of manual testing. Manual testing is mainly outsourced. Actually, as early as in 2004, for example, most of the manual testing of MSN Explorer was outsourced.

The section starts at  offset (which is a number), and is as long as the value provided at  length. substring-before( string1 ,  string2 ) Returns the part of  string1  up unti
