The Mercury Interactive has announced Quick Test Professional 9.0 as part of Mercury Quality Center 9.0 in April 2006. The company considers QuickTest Pro 9.0 as replacement for WinRunner 8.2 and will phase out the latest sooner or later for customer satisfaction. The next version QTP 9.1 appeared in QA world in September 2006 after HP’s acquisition of Mercury Interactive.

The following account of the history of automated testing tool till would be interesting for training purposes and of course can be used for resume review for all QA Engineers looking for job.

July, 2000 - Astra QuickTest Pro 4.0

In preparation for interviewing, I like to review the resume of potential QA engineer candidate to verify timeline of using correct version of SilkTest and if I see something like “Automated regression testing of new builds utilizing Segue SilkTest” dated between 2000-2002 I would definitely ask about version of automated test tool you were using back then. So I would recommend updating as soon as possible your resume with published below short version of Silktest releases.

September, 2006 - SilkTest 2006
May, 2006 - SilkTest 8.0
