SAP TAO 2.0 Installation--Is Quick Test Pro Required?

Hello Experts,

We are planning to install SAP TAO in our solution manager 7.01 and we already have a working HP Quality Center. My question is, is the Quick Test Professional required before we can use TAO? Or can we integrate TAO with QC and start using it without QTP?

Please advise.

Thank you.
