Dear readers, as you can see, I performed a huge work to prepare these videos.
In general, it took me ~ 60 hours for each video:
  • to think up examples (they should be simple)
  • to develop a scenario of video tutorial (I prefer logical and 'step-by-step' scenarios)
  • to record video (actually, not easy task)
  • to make, edit, check and recheck, and then again to remake movie (it should be ideal!)

I think, that my readers should get the perfect QTP and LoadRunner video tutorials. And I create such video tutorials.
That's why I ask you to help me - please, make donations. Your donation will mean that my videos were useful fot you and I'll be glad that you learnt something new.

It will motivate me to make new, even better videos!
