Starting QuickTest or Launching QTP

Starting QTP

To start QTP, select Programs -> QuickTest Professional -> QuickTest Professional in the Start menu, or double-click the QuickTest Professional shortcut  on your desktop.

The first time you start QTP, the Add-in Manager dialog box opens, displaying the currently installed add-ins. Select the add-ins you want to load.

QTP remembers the add-ins you load so that the next time you open QuickTest, the add-ins you selected in the previous session are selected by default. For best performance, it is recommended to clear any add-ins that are not needed for a particular session.

Click OK. The QuickTest Professional window opens displaying the Start Page and a blank test. To access a blank test, click the Test tab.

Tip: If you do not want this dialog box to open the next time you start QuickTest, clear the Show on startup check box.
