QuickTest Professional (QTP) is a tool for developing automated programs to test software applications and computing environments. Software development teams often use a newer suite of testing tools called Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing (UFT) software. As an automation QTP tester, your duties include planning each test and selecting the QTP tools to assess the application best. Your responsibilities may also include developing new testing applications or configuring existing testing software to meet the specific needs for a project. Since automated testing is part of the development process, you need to be familiar with software development methodologies such as Scrum and Agile.
