Automation and QTP Testing

[nitefoll]

We are currently looking for an automated testing solution
for Flex 2 interfaces. At the moment we have purchased Mercury
Quick Test Pro as a testing solution and have a few questions

• Is it possible to automate testing Flex interfaces using QTP,
  without dependencies on the Flex Data Center server?
  
  


• Is it possible to purchase a discounted Data Services license
  just for testing purposes (i.e. just a license to allow QTP
  integration, not actually run the software)
  
  
  
  Any information would of help
  
  
  
  Cheers

I would like to ask the same questions as above. We use our
own web services and do not need or plan to purchase data services
but, still need to automate with QTP. Any luck with getting answers
to this? Thanks

I'm here looking for the exact same answer. Flex Automation
package comes with Live Cycle Data Services. You need a license to
get it. So says this site.



But is their a technical requirement for Data Svcs, because
currently our product does not use it, or do we just need to buy
the cheapest available DS license so we can run the Automation
package which is all QTP really needs?



I have tried installing LiveCycle Express, but when I try to
install the Automation Package, it asks me for the LiveCycle
Express serial number, and I don't have one. I'm not sure if
Express even has one. But of course, if QTP or the QTP plugin or
automation package need LiveCycle to be part of my application,
that's the bigger question.



Thanks.
