QTP is called A "Keyword Driven Test Tool" because it is based on Keyword-driven testing technique.
Keyword-driven testing is one type of Test Automation frameworks. There are other types for frameworks such as Data-driven Testing, Modularity-driven testing...

Keyword-driven testing is a Software testing technique in which the programming work is separated from the test steps.

In this technique the test steps can be developed earlier.
It is easier to maintain and update the test steps.

Keyword Driven Testing technique is suitable to automated testing.

In Keyword-driven testing the test can be designed at business level instead of object level.

It separates the test creation process into two distinct stages:
Planning Stage
Implementation Stage

Keyword-driven testing is more efficient and in terms of both resource maintenance and test maintenance.
