what are the areas that cannot be tested using an automated
tool? list a few

Answer Posted / vikas choubey

o Dynamically changing functionality
o Test cases that require more Human interaction
o CUI (command user interface) based test cases
Does QTP support the technology used to build your
application? Now this is the first thing that needs to be
checked. There are certain programming languages such as C++
that are not supported by QTP. Hence if yours is a C++
application then QTP is not for you.
Do your Test Cases require Manual Intervention? Consider
an end to end order creation test case where once the order
request is placed, manual intervention is needed to help
flow the order from one system to another. Its always better
not to automate such cases.
Does your Test Case needs to be checked in multiple
Browsers? There are many browsers such as Chrome, Netscape,
Safari etc that are not supported by QTP. Hence if you want
to check your test cases in any of these browsers, QTP
wouldn’t be of any help to you.
Some things just can’t be fully automated. Consider a
scenario where you need to place an order and verify that an
sms is sent to the concerned person. Such test cases can’t
be automated completely. Though it can definitely be argued
that the scenario can be partially automated.
