Migrating from QTP to Microsoft Test Manager(MTM)

Question

Hi All,

We are planning to migrate from QTP to Microsoft Test Manager.We have bulk of QTP scripts. As we planned to use MTM, now we need to convert the existing QTP scripts to MTM Scripts, so that we can use these in MTM. Is there any possible solution to do this.I have only QTP script files and no more QTP environment in my PC. Does MTM will allow the QTP scripts to run without any QTP environment/installation. Is there any way to convert QTP scripts to MTM scripts / any add-in which will do this conversion.

Guys please help me in this.

Thanks

Vani

Answer 1

Are going to be using Visual Studio CodeUI and TFS as well?

Answer 2

Hi Vani,

Thank you for your post.

MTM need work together with Team Foundation Server, if you want to move to use MTM, you need the ability to execute QTP scripts by invoking the QTP runtime within the TFS Test Execution framework. You can refer to the #4 scenario in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dannawi/archive/2010/06/06/tfs-and-hp-quality-centre-test-director-or-load-runner-integration.aspx

And, there is another article about how to integrate QTP with TFS http://www.improvingsoftwarequality.com/2011/10/qtp-tfs-generic-test-integration.html

If anything is unclear, please free feel to let me know.

Thanks

It sounds like you are better off starting all over again.

I know of no way to convert QTP scripts like this scripts you could use in MTM. QTP scripts are in VBScript and the closest conversion would be VB.Net but the scripts from QTP will not directly convert. You also need to be able to convert the QTP OR files to a format MTM would undersatnd.

There is one simple but hard choice start again... or get QTP installed again and call the QTP scripts that way.
