    Hi

    the video tutorial for capturing the dynamic text is very excellent . hope that you continue your efforts for the video tutorials in future too. Can you concentrate a little bit more on "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" ,"DESCRIPTIVE PROGRAMMING" AND "HOW TO POST THE RESULTS FROM QTP TO QUALITY CENTRE",

    I perfectly understand that I'm not a QTP guru... And I'm not a QTP teacher. I don't have QTP certification even :)

    All I did is I read QTP Help files.
    Believe me, QTP Help is extremely useful and informative.

    I think, you dealt with a CAPTCHA.
    There is a special protection against a spam. There is no 100% solution.
    I can suggest to OCR software to capture the text on image.

    I am using the URL "http://206.72.242.4/ilrn/"
    and recorded the action of clicking the 'create an account' button and stops the recording. When I try to insert the check point or use the test output value, the system is throwing the error, that I have mentioned in my previous querry. Please let me know if any more information is needed.

    Hi Dimitry,
    Great tutorials.
    I am looking for an example that shows how to measure the time of page loads and couldn't find a good tutorial on that.
    I currently use the sync option but is there an overall best practice for waiting for transactions to complete for timing purposes? What about none web base applications?
