Different Types of Applications that can be tested using QTP:
QTP can be used only on Windows Operating System. QTP cannot be installed on other operating systems such as Unix, Linux etc. However there are many 3rd party tools such as Putty, Hummingbird Host Explorer etc using which you can access Unix / Mainframe server in Windows OS. QTP can be configured to work with these 3rd party tools and thus in a way can be used for testing applications in Mainframe/Unix etc.
QTP can be used to automate a variety of applications built using different technologies. It is used most commonly for web applications. Other than web applications QTP can be used on applications developed using Java, .NET, VB, SAP, Siebel, Mainframes, Oracle, Delphi, WPF, Ajax, Silverlight, People Soft, VisualAge Smalltalk etc.
Primarily QTP is used for automation of GUI based application but it can also be used for Non-GUI based testing such as web services testing, database testing and file system operations.

| Area | Name | Description | Critical | Date |
| ALL | QTP_00709 | This patch updates your QuickTest installation with fixes for a number of issues found after the release of QuickTest Professional 11.00. The following issues are being addressed in this patch: 1. If the QTP_00699 – Support Testing on 64-Bit Applications (For Specified Technologies) patch was not installed on 64-bit operating systems, all .NET 4.0 controls on 32-bit applications were recognized as SwfObjects. 2. Recovery scenarios did not work in BPT wrapper tests. 3. Run-time errors were displayed if you ran a business component that contained a QCUtil.CurrentTest.Name step. 4. Function libraries that were created from an application area, opened in read-only mode. 5. In Quality Center 10.00, the Parameters of Test dialog box opened when you added QuickTest 11.00 tests to the execution grid. 6. If a QuickTest test called a Service Test test (and both tests were stored in Quality Center), the run results for the Service Test test were not uploaded to Quality Center at the end of the run session. 7. If you renamed a QuickTest action after inserting a call from it to a Service Test test, an error occurred during the run session. 8. QuickTest crashed or an OS blue screen appeared when using a User-Defined / Non-HLLAPI emulator on Windows 7 with Office 2007/2010 installed. 9. You could not view the baseline history for scripted components that were stored in version control-enabled Quality Center projects. 10. In QuickTest, if you tried to delete an application area that was associated with one or more components, QuickTest mistakenly opened a message box asking you to confirm the deletion of the application area instead of informing you that the application area is in use and providing you with further instructions. This occurred only if the application area was moved to a different location in the Quality Center/ALM Test Resources module after a component was associated with it. | Y | Jan 2011 |

| Oracle | QTPORACLE_00010 | This patch provides: 1. Support for Oracle Forms 11g. 2. Enhanced support for OracleTable objects. Note: when learning a table control in an Oracle Forms application, QuickTest identifies the table columns as being part of a table only if the columns have a description property (usually the column name). If a particular column does not have a description property, then its cells are recognized as separate controls and are learned as separate test objects.
