Using QuickTest Professional 9.2

This core course provides a comprehensive understanding of using QuickTest Professional 9.2 as an automated functional testing tool for different environments. You will use QuickTest Professional's graphical point and click interface to record and play back tests, add synchronisation points and verification steps, and create multiple action tests. You will build upon fundamental topics by using debug tools to troubleshoot tests and use additional checkpoints and product options to broaden the scope of business processes that can be automated. Once tests are created, you will discover and correct common record and play back problems. All topics are supported by hands-on exercises that are based on real-life examples.
