9. UFT / QTP Test Script A QTP/UFT Test Script consists of Solution Action Data table S N o File Types Extension 1 Test script file . mts 2 Action . mst 3 Data table . xls 4 Local Object repository . mtr 5 Shared Object repository . tsr 6 Library Files . qfl 7 Batch Files . mtb

10. Limitations of UFT Cost is extremely high – License and maintenance. Cannot run multiple threads/instances – For example the Grid support available in Selenium, where we can run multiple instances of the application on different browsers at the same time. Slow in execution when compared to even open source tools like Selenium. You need to buy different addins – Java, Oracle, SAP, .Net , Seibel, Peoplesoft etc . Requires skilled automation testers.
