Comparison Matrix

QTP Advantages:

• Developing automated tests using VBScript doesn't require a highly skilled coder and relatively easy when compared other object oriented programming languages.
• Easy to use, ease of navigation, results validation and Report generation.
• Readily Integrated with Test Management Tool (Hp-Quality Center) which enables easy scheduling and Monitoring.
• Can also be used for Mobile Application Testing.
• Since it is a Hp product, the full support is provided by HP and by its forums for addressing technical issues.

QTP Disadvantages:

• Unlike Selenium, QTP works in Windows operating system only.
• Not all versions of Browsers are supported and the testers need to wait for the patch to be released for each one of the major versions.
• Having said that it is a commercial tool, the licensing cost is very high.
• Even though scripting time is less, the execution time is relatively higher as it puts load on CPU & RAM.
