HP just gave a revealing presentation about the next version of QuickTest Pro. It is codenamed Atlantis, and it will probably be called QuickTest Pro 10.0. QTP 10 is targeted to be released in the beginning of 2009.

I’ll break down some of the features that were discussed.

Caleb Sima from SPI dynamics is presenting on the main stage. Demoing SQL injection. This is pretty common stuff, but his presentation is making it much more accessible than others I’ve seen.

He showed SPI’s SQL Injector tool, and I could feel the fear coming from part of the audience. I suspect he is going to ease their fear by telling them how they can buy his product.

I’ve just checked in to the swank Palazzo hotel in Las Vegas for HP Software Universe.

I don’t know if it qualifies as live blogging, but I will be posting a few updates throughout the week about goings on here.

UPDATE:

You can also read coverage of HPSU 2008 on loadtester.com. They also have a HPSU bingo card for those attending. One of the squares on the card is in the title of my presentation: Web 2.0.

In case anybody wants to come by, I will be presenting at HP Software Universe this year on Thursday 6/19 at 8:30a.

The session is Automating Web 2.0 using HP QuickTest Professional 9.5 Web Extensibility.

This should be a good session. I’ve become a big fan of QTP’s Web Extensibility. I will show you how we are using it to create classes for our custom web controls.

Also, Patterson Consulting is donating a Test Design Studio license to be given away at this presentation. I have been testing WebExt support for an upcoming version of Test Design Studio, and the difference between TDS and manually editing the WebExt XML and Javascript files is amazing.
