Would you like to know how to become QTP guru?

The recipe is simple. You should learn the following:

2. Software Testing Automation Frameworks

There are different approaches and solution. There is not a silver bullet.

8. HTML, DOM

Since QuickTest Professional works perfectly with web applications, you should be expert in related fields - HTML, HTTP, DHTML, DOM, etc. They will simplify your future QTP script and make them more reliable and maintenable.
