It might surprise you!
I hope it would be interesting to know the history of the tool you work with.
Most of the QTP lovers may think that QTP is a new name given to Mercury’s functional testing tool i.e. WinRunner, However it might be surprising fact that these were two different tools. Mercury (formerly Mercury Interactive Corporation) was one of the renowned companies in late 1990’s and used to offer software for application management, application delivery/change/configuration management, service-oriented architecture, change request and quality assurance. From 2000 until its HP acquisition in 2006, Mercury had the ownership of six other companies Freshwater Software, Appilog, Systinet, Kintana Inc., Conduct Software Technologies Inc. and Performant Inc.
