Business Process Testing (BPT) Framework in QTP

Business Process Testing (BPT) Framework is the framework where you can divide the test cases into multiple flows and each of these flows is scripted by using a Business Process Component. When all the components for a particular test case are ready, you can link the components one after the other as per the test case flow and execute the BPT test case from QC.
