QTP: simultaneously user testing is possible in QTP ?

Question

I want to know that can I test an application with multiple users in QTP ?

If yes then how can i do this.Please give me steps to do it.

Answer 1

More details please - what exactly would you like to do?

If you mean simultaneous user testing with QTP as a proxy for load testing, no, it is not a good tool for that. You will want a real load testing tool (Rational Performance Tester, OpenSTA, JMeter, LoadRunner, et al).

If you are talking about scenarios where you need to have QTP running on 2 machines accessing the same record(s), or something along those lines, then yes, you can do this with QTP. QTP has no special handling for this, but it is fairly straightforward to set up a mechanism to do this.

For example, if you want to create a record with user A and modify the record with user B, you could have a common file that contains the record id. User A would write the record id to this file after creating it, and user B would read the record id from the file before modifying it.

Answer 2

You can still use QTP as a GUI handling client with connection to LoadRunner. Very detailed explanation could be found here: http://motevich.blogspot.com/2007/11/execute-qtp-script-from-loadrunner.html

Answer 3

simultaneously user testing is possible in QTP ?

No, Only one QTP user can run at a time in one computer. If you try to open other QTP user also in the desktop it will show only one.
