QTP10

QTP 10 (code named Atlantis) has come out in early February, packed with new features and surprises. While we’ve seen previous versions of this release, we’ve taken a couple of weeks to really get to know it before writing our full in-depth review.

My personal impression of this version – Most of the new features are very well executed, but several critical flaws in the IDE improvements make this version merely worthwhile, while it could (and should) have been extraordinary. If you’re using QC, you might have a radically different opinion, since the new QC integration feature are just awesome.

Here’s an excerpt from the Summary section of the review:
QTP 10 brings many improvements to the user’s central workflows. The two main killer-features show great potential: The QC integration features make version control a viable option; and the IDE and intellisense improvements will definitely improve your productivity and efficiency. Many of the other features are significant and long awaited improvements to some of QTP’s central mechanisms, and they are mostly well executed.

However, weighing QTP 10 potential (at least for the IDE improvements) against the actual features and changes, I am left with a strong sensation of a missed opportunity. This is not to say that QTP 10 is not a worthwhile version, but that in my view it could’ve been great.
