This month AdvancedQTP is running The Flight Reservation Project, which is a tutorial series based on the Flight Reservation example application that ships with QuickTest Pro. This series focuses on testing a Windows application, which is outside of the Inquisition’s usual subject matter of web apps.

The announcement page has these three compelling bullet points:

# This project is much more than just another tutorial or framework. The project is an online course that simulates a “real-world” automation-testing project. The project offers a unique opportunity to gain invaluable experience using QTP in real-world projects.
# While most tutorials present a few isolated technical dilemmas that in the most cases have very little to do with automation projects management, FRP takes an extra step and offers you the opportunity to be involved in all the aspects of carrying out a successful end-to-end automation project.
# Along the way you will learn a great deal about the different types of testing (Regression, Negative, Sanity, etc.), coverage of system requirements, and how to transform them into code.

So, if you are a novice or just want to learn more about testing Windows applications, The Flight Reservation Project is a good place to look.

I should also note that AdvancedQTP’s general Q&A forum is shaping up to be a great resource for all things QTP.
