what is the advantage of QTP?

[msprasanna]

Which step of the manual testing is replaced by automation testing?

[naveen_p25]

Prasanna: Use seperate thread for your different questions, so that it will be beneficial for other members.

I am also advising you to please collect all your questions and post in one thread so that you will get answers in one go, it looks nice also.

Coming to your query -

We can't replace a particular step of manual test case into automation script.
Automation of the test case is required :

1. whenever the test case is required to execute number of times.
2. if the effort is more
3. much more calculations
4. more builds need to test and frequent changes in the system
5. resource availability and cost of the project

etc ...

Hi MSPRASANNA

what naveen said about the questions is true. Please stick to questions in area. Also Please go thru the forums under the testing tools & QA right from beginning to the end and browse all the questions and if possible download them to ur local machine and go thru them.The answers in the forum will be solve all ur problems/questions u had in mind. All u need is patience to go thru the questions in the forum which is really very helpful for any tester whether experienced or fresher.

My sincere advice is to go thru all the questions and read them. Even though u find most of them known to you but will enhance your memory with more precise answers. Sorry If I am wrong. In this forums u have the pdf or word documents as attachment for most of the testing.(Test Cases, Test Plans, Testing Scenarios, Tutorials etc.,)

Have a wonderful weekend all.
