2009, the book gives a pragmatic view of QTP. The book assumes that the reader has basic

knowledge of VBScript & QTP (record/replay of scripts). It then builds up the knowledge

feature by feature in a very structured manner. The book can be used by beginners as well

experts. It highlights few of the undocumented features of QTP which cannot be found any

other documentation. The preview of the book can be downloadedhere. For more details on
