With Google Chrome gaining a significant browser share on the web and already touching 25% mark, it was imperative for HP to integrate Chrome capabilities with QTP. QTP 11 now provides replay support for Google Chrome browser. You would need to download and install the patch QTPWEB_00088.EXE available at HP’s support site.
Some important points to note:
This patch only provides replay support and not record support on Google Chrome.
It won’t support multiple tabs or multiple browsers in Google Chrome as available on Firefox/IE
These web environment are not supported yet. SAP Web, Siebel, Java,.NET WebForms. Web Extensibility based test objects won’t work either.
These methods are not supported on Google Chrome
Browser.Home
Browser.FullScreen
Browser.ClearCache
Browser.Object
All in all this patch needs a lot of refinement but still can be regarded as a good start in the direction of Google Chrome support, which was non-existent till now. As has happened with Firefox, you can expect some considerable improvement with Google Chrome support over a period of time.
