Does QTP always need a database?

[nishu26]

Hi,

I am trying to use QTP on a stand-alone desktop application built on Dot Net. I wanted to check whether it is always necessary to have a database like Oracle/SQL for functioning of QTP?

Please answer my query.

Thanks,
Nishu

As far as I know, it is not required unless until you are testing database related applications or directly trying to access database to fetch/update data.
In short QTP functioning is not dependent upon Oracle/SQL.

HTH.

you are right Vijayendra,QTP does not need any kind of database for functioning it properly, it could be your application under test which requires it for functioning.
