Reading this article from Roi Carmel, HP, prompted me to write a post. There has been no out-of-the-box support for most of the Web2.0 technologies by any of the tools providers out there.
Looks like HP has decided to go full force into it and capture all the more commercial functional testing tools market that was already dominated by them. **HP is now planning to release a Web2.0 pack. The highlights of which will be:
- Making Web-Extensibility easier to use : Good to know HP acknowledge this fact. I have not seen much happening around this area, though it has been good 2+ yrs (the release of v9.5) since they made extensibility available. It will be a framework by the name Extensibility Accelerator (EA).

- Tighter support for Web2.0 apps : Till now, QTP had a Flex addin (by Adobe), now QTP is going to support Silverlight and AJAX apps.
- Better Object recognition and record/replay capabilities for Web 2.0 apps
Read the full article here
** Update: HP has already released the patch on top of QTP 10.0 This patch provides support for Silverlight 2-3 (under .NET addin), and various toolkits – like AJAX, Google Web Toolkit (GWT), Dojo Toolkit, and Yahoo User Interface- under Web Extensibility. Once you have the Extensibility Accelerator installed, it can be seen under Tools menu option on QTP’s IDE.
The patch is released in two flavors:
- Web 2.0 Feature Pack with PreRequisites – In case you do not have MS Studio 2008 SP1 and .NET framework
- Web 2.0 Feature Pack without PreRequisites – In case you already have the above two softwares installed.

Hi Ankur
Can you please send me POC of any application with help of QTP testing tool
I am not sure that I understand what exactly I need to do to get AJAX controls to be recordable in QTP. I have several tests for different applications that all have javascript and AJAX in them and that will not record/run correctly. You mention an Extensibility Accelerator, do I need to get that from somewhere for this to work?
Hi Ankur,
Really informative. I Could see that EA support Silver light version from 2 to 3. What about Silver Light 4? Will QTP 10.0 supports that.
