B) Automation — QTP 10.0 /UFT

HP Quick Test Professional (QTP) is a software leading functional and regression test automation for applications and environments. QTP can be used for
enterprise quality assurance.

QTP supports keyword and scripting interfaces and features a GUI or web or client based computer application. It is primarily used for functional
regression test automation. It works by identifying the objects and controls of the application under test.
