For example if we a take registration forms, in those recently we are using 'Captcha' codes. Without entering exact captcha code, user may not register into the site properly.Captcha code is not static data, so it will change every time. In this cases through manually only we can register (test).
This type of functionality is difficult to test using automation.

o Dynamically changing functionality
o Test cases that require more Human interaction
o CUI (command user interface) based test cases
Does QTP support the technology used to build your
application? Now this is the first thing that needs to be
checked. There are certain programming languages such as C++
that are not supported by QTP. Hence if yours is a C++
application then QTP is not for you.
Do your Test Cases require Manual Intervention? Consider
an end to end order creation test case where once the order
request is placed, manual intervention is needed to help
flow the order from one system to another. Its always better
not to automate such cases.
Does your Test Case needs to be checked in multiple
Browsers? There are many browsers such as Chrome, Netscape,
Safari etc that are not supported by QTP. Hence if you want
to check your test cases in any of these browsers, QTP
wouldn’t be of any help to you.
Some things just can’t be fully automated. Consider a
scenario where you need to place an order and verify that an
sms is sent to the concerned person. Such test cases can’t
be automated completely. Though it can definitely be argued
that the scenario can be partially automated.

Actaully question is not specific..
1)No Testing documents can be automated..This can be one
area.
There are some stuffs which we cant directly perform
through the tool but we can perform by creating code in
same tool..
Like in QTP , I cant check the text of submenu which is
hided under "File" menu....
For that I need to write some script...

Hi guys, Our company has started to automate testing and started using the tool QTP.Iam new to QTP and I have the following questions to ask. Would appreciate if anyone could give me a hand on this and explain things in a detailed way. [1] Bugs outside checkpoints: I know that I can easily make the QTP do what I want inside the application. Also, I know that I can insert some checkpoints and that the qtp will notice if those conditions are not met. However, there are bugs and problems that might not be connected to a checkpoint (system crash, database error, losing session/logout etc.); how can I make sure that the QTP will notice such problems as well and flag a test as failed. [2] How to tell the QTP that when a particular statement is "false",it should flag it as, test failed and show in in the test report. In short how to tell the qtp that a test is false from the script so that it shows it in the report For Eg:- if(true) test passed // how to instruct qtp else test failed // how to instruct qtp [3] Test script portability: we are having several environments; If I record a test on User Interface, obviously, the qtp will save the URL; however, how can I make the qtp run the tests so that the url is provided dynamically. Is there a possibility to parameterize the web server.Is this the way to do it.I dont know? [4] Test management: How do I manage the tests? I guess we will be doing it in Quality Center, yet, it’s not perfectly clear to me how we will be doing that. [5] Running scheduled test sets: How do I group tests to a certain test set? How can I make this test set run at a predefined time? [6] Test maintenance: What do we need to do beforehand in order to enable for easy test maintenance, meaning small adjustments in tests? [7] Reports: What kind of reports on test results are available (either QTP or Quality Center)? Thanks in advance and hoping for an answer. Jen
