    4. Why the Presentation? The Big Directive The Big Question 4

    5. Why the Presentation? (Cont.) Lack of Good Comparison Studies Evidence Can Be Found to Support any Theory 5

    6. 6 Comparison Process Typical Proof of Concept Process Define steps in PoC test Define comparison criteria Select tools for comparison Execute tests independently Compare results Draw conclusions

    7. 7 Proof of Concept Test Steps Launch Browser Validate Logo Login and Input Data Navigate Within Site Validate Text Playback Test as Recorded Parameterize and Data Drive Cause and Detect Failure View and Interpret Test Results Edit/Enhance Script and Re-run

    8. 8 Comparison Criteria Ability to Execute Proof of Concept Steps Ease of Test Automation Installation and configuration Record/playback, custom coding Results Versatility Support for emerging technologies Integration with other tools Resources Availability of experienced professionals Help, documentation, published materials Technical support, tool maintenance, training Hard/Soft Costs

    9. 9 Tool Selection: Why Selenium? Free & Open Source & Free of Charge Functional Test Automation Tool Supports web testing Supports record/playback and adv. scripting Recent Releases Available for Download Active Community of Users Peer Recommendations Popular Topic

    10. 10 Tool Selection: Why QTP? Market Leader in Test Automation Supports Largest Array of Technologies Graphical, Keyword-Driven Test Development Personal Experiences With it Peer Recommendations Part of HPs Functional Test Suite

    11. 11. Selenium Components Basic Recording Firefox Selenium IDE Custom Coding Firebug Java Eclipse IDE JUnit libraries Selenium libraries Playback Selenium Remote Control

    12. 12. Installing and Configuring Selenium

    13. 13. Configuring Selenium for Testing

    14. Configuring Selenium for Testing 14.

    15. Installing and Configuring QTP

    16. 16. Comparison: Install and Configure Selenium Firefox Selenium IDE Selenium RC Firebug Java Eclipse Configure Eclipse QTP QTP Configure QTP None required

    17. Automating with Selenium vs. QTP 17.

    18. Comparison: Test Automation Process Selenium Launch Firefox Invoke Selenium Record Script Convert to Java Launch Eclipse Copy/Paste Script Fix Errors Custom Code to Parameterize Custom Code to Data-Drive Run Test View Results QTP Launch QTP Record Script Parameterize Data-Drive Run Test View Results

    19. 19 Comparison: PoC Results

    20. Comparison: Versatility Selenium Web Testing Only Must Record in Firefox, Playback in Many OS, Browser No Built-In Object or Data Management Concepts Some Emerging Technologies Supported by Community Can Be Integrated With Many Development Tools QTP Automates Many Technologies Must Record in IE*, Playback in Many Windows Browsers Facilitates Best Practices via Object Repository, Data Table, Parameterization Native Support for Emerging Technologies + Extensibility Tight Integration With Other HP Tools

    21. Comparison: Resources Selenium Resources Must Have Significant Development Skills Unofficial Training Only Support is Community Driven or Pay for Commercial Support for Multiple Tools Documentation for Complete Selenium Solution Does Not Exist QTP Development Skills Not Required Official Training Available Professional Support Included Plus a Very Large Community of Users Documentation is Mature and Complete

    22. 22 The Total Cost of Ownership Hard Costs Licensing Support and maintenance Staffing Hidden Costs Staffing Time Complexity Internal desktop policies Legal policies Lost opportunity

    23. 23.

    24. Comparison: Hard Costs (Cont.) Selenium QTP

    26. 26

    27. 27 TCO: Hidden Costs of Selenium Staffing Selenium career path vs. QTP career path Finding Selenium resources is more difficult Selenium detour creates higher turnover Time Longer learning curve Time spent getting Selenium to work = less time testing Complexity Solutions take longer to build, maintain Requires integration of many components New challenges will require more components and more custom development

    28. 28. TCO: Hidden Costs of Selenium Internal Desktop and Legal Policies Many components for IT to support Open-source may not be permitted Firefox may not be permitted Lost Opportunity Only supports web, does not solve other automation challenges Organizational challenges around reuse, standardization, centralization, visibility will be harder to accomplish

    29. 29 Conclusions Free Does Not Mean Free Free doesnt even mean cheaper Cost of the tool is just one small factor Understand Your Expectations From the software producer, from the tool itself Examine How the Software Will Be Used Who will use, support and maintain it What will it be used for in the near and long term Our Conclusions: Selenium may be right for some specific situations QTP can be the right choice for a much larger array of situations

    30. 30 Questions?

    31. 31 References The True Cost of Software: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/81590/The_True_Costs_of_Software Total Cost of Ownership: http://www.netc.org/openoptions/pros_cons/tco.html The Free Software Definition: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html Why Open Source Software: http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html Repository of Open Source Tools Including Some Reviews: http://opensourcetesting.org/ Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org Selenium HQ: http://seleniumhq.org/ Salary Ranges: http://salary.com

    32. 32 Appendix A: QTP and Web 2.0 Adobe Flex/Flash Microsoft Silverlight AJAX in Various Forms Dojo Toolkit Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) ASP.NET AJAX Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Web 2.0 Extensibility Build your own custom add-in

    33. 33 Appendix B: QTP Add-Ins QTP Add-Ins Included With Purchase ActiveX VisualBasic Web Delphi Java .NET Oracle PeopleSoft PowerBuilder SAP Siebel Stingray Terminal Emulator Extensibility QTP Tool Integrations HP Quality Center HP LoadRunner HP Business Process Testing (BPT) Many BPT Accelerators

    34. 34 Appendix C: Other Questions Operating Systems Selenium: supports multiple OS QTP: supports only Microsoft Distribution of Large Automation Suites Selenium: runtime license = $0 QTP runtime license = full price Hardware requirements Selenium: multiple instances on one machine QTP: one instance per machine
