Hi Ankur,
I am using QTP from past 7 months, I am interested in doing QTP certification.
Just wanted to know that:
1.How should I proceed with my preparation?
2.How much time should be given to the preparation before attempting it?
3.What is the certification cost and is there any particular exam date or we can write it whenever we feel comfortable?

Any general suggestions or tips from you would be really worthwhile .

Thanks a lot!

If you have enough hands-on on the tool and have gone through the QTP Knowledge Base of HP... it will not be a problem for you to crack certification.

For cost and other factors please refer the links given in the post above.

Hi Ankur

Kudos to your work!
I have two questions for you.
1) I started my career as a developer & after 3 years, I switched to QA. Its been another 3 years since I have been working as a QA professional using QTP and SILK. Now at this point of career I want to take up something challenging. Should I take certification in PMP or QTP? I believe that I am ready to take up position of Sr./principal QA analyst. Please suggest.
2) Vendor funded certifications eg. QTP have more value in job market or non vendor funded like CSTE? Please reply.

Hi ankur,

First of all hat-off for this amazing and volunteer effort you are putting for automation.

Am in autiomation from last 5 years and in QTP almost 3 years, now am looking forward for certification but all links and material on web as well as on this portal are not very clear to me. Can you please send me the exact details or any contact number where I can find the details.

Last month I wrote a mail to HP and got following reply from them:

"We have been advised by the relevant department that Mercury Exams are
currently not available these few months as all the legacy data are
being
migrated into the HP system"


Please suggest!!

Thanks,
Deep

being migrated into the HP system".

Also gone through the links provided in this forum but afraid to say they are not of much help.

Can anyone help me out with exact detaisl.

Hi Ankur

I would appreciate if you canfind some time to look into my querry.
suggestions from any other QA professionals from the form are also most welcome.

I appeared for the certification exam yesterday and I cleared it with 98%.

@ QAboston: Out of my scope to answer but can say that;

1) They can't be compared. PMP is for Project management while QTP certification is for a specific tool.
2) Again CSTE-- manual testing concepts, QTP--Tool. I can't really comment on the market value.

Others are welcome to share their views.
