QTP vs Seleium vs Other tools

I had a chance to look at this comparison and do not agree with few claims.
(Not because I am dedicated to selenium but since I have found few of these working my self.)

They are just mentioned as mere Yes or No with out any associated reasoning. I have tried to contradict few of these claims below -

Ability to identify objects using multiple parameters: Selenium does indeed support multiple ways for identifying object like - id, name, Xpath, css, dom etc.
Ability to run multiple scripts consistantly in a Batch mode: This can be easily achieved using frameworks like JUnit, TestNG etc,
Object Oriented Scripting Support: Selenium has a long list of supported client drivers and if Java, C# are not object oriented then which language is object oriented?
Integration with External libraries: What are libraries like TestNG, Fest, Ant which I have integrated with Selenium for my test effort
Object parametrization: Can be achieved using TestNG
Integrated Data Driven Test framework support: Cab be achieved using TestNG

Though these features are supported from external libraries but there is no harm in plugging in external libraries in existing tool and getting the things done.

Distributed Load Testing with JMeter

Distributed Testing with JMeter When one JMeter client is not able to offer amount of threads required for load testing then distributed testing is used. In distributed testing - One instance of JMeter client can control number of JMeter instances and collect data from them Test plan does not need to be copied to each server, the client sends it to all servers note - JMeter will run all the threads on all the servers, hence 100 threads on 5 JMeter server would pump 500 threads in total. If many server instances are used, the client JMeter can become overloaded and so the client network connection. This has been improved in latest versions of JMeter by switching to Stripped modes, but you should always check that your client is not overloaded When Client (master) and Server (slave) nodes are on same network (no SSH required) Configure Client Node Herein client is referred as the machine controlling test execution on other JMeter nodes. This is also referred

Verify email confirmation using Selenium

Note: If you are new to java and selenium then start with selenium java training videos . Email confirmation seems to be integral part of any registration process. I came across an application which lets you provide your email address. You can follow the sign up link in you mail and then complete the registration process. Lets consider we provide GMail address for it. Now if were to use only Selenium then we would have to follow following steps - Launch GMail using Selenium; Some how search for new mail in the list of available mails; Some how click on it; Parse the mail message; Get the registration link; Follow up with registration process What do you think of an approach in which you can
