1. QTP Strong
Points

2. Executing automated testing, the specialists’
team has an opportunity to choose a certain
checking tool which is mostly suitable for the
specified project. Currently, there is a whole
range of the automation tools each of which
possesses both advantages and
disadvantages.

3. Frequently, software testing company gets to
choose between Selenium and QTP. Without
any doubt, both these tools promote more
qualitative execution of the product checking.
But what of them is still better? What
possesses a bigger number of pluses?

4. What Are the Advantages of QTP Over
Selenium?
• A team may use QTP, executing desktop application
testing and website checking. Selenium is relevant only for
web application testing.
• QTP is with the built-in repository, Selenium – not.
• The QTP automation speed is faster than Selenium due to
the built-in IDE.
• Selenium does not provide an official users’ support in
comparison with QTP.

5. What Are the Advantages of QTP Over
Selenium?
• With the help of QTP, one may export the test data to various
external formats. Selenium does not have such function.
• The test reports are automatically generated in QTP, Selenium
does not have the test and bug report creation function
available.
• QTP can manage the browser’s elements itself (for example,
address bar, Back/Forward buttons, and so on). Selenium does
not have an access to any element outside the web application
under test.

6. Conducting web application testing, a team analyzes
not only the above-mentioned peculiarities of the tools’
functional but also other factors among which are:
• price (Selenium is fully free of charge);
• tool’s flexibility (a number of supported
programming languages, browsers, platforms);
• parallel testing (for QTP, it is only possible with the
Quality Center usage).
