Q:

how to pass through the captcha while testing an application on an automation tool like QTP

how to avoid(alternative) captcha while testing an application on any tool.
I am testing an application on QTP .It's having captcha on the login screen Since captcha is an image therefore the tool is unable to read it for repeated iterations. Is there any way to pass through the captcha.

A:

The whole point of CAPTCHA1 is to make sure a real human is facing the computer so if QTP could solve a general CAPTCHA it would mean that the whole concept of CAPTCHAs is flawed.
On a case to case basis there may be a solution (perhaps involving Insight) but you would have to share more information to get a meaningful answer.
The best course of action would probably be to get R&D to provide a non-CAPTCHA protected way to enter the application during testing (and make sure this is not present in the production servers).
