1. Mercury Screen Recorder:
1. Mercury Screen Recorder:
Capture
your entire run session in a movie clip or capture only the segments
with errors, and then view your movie from the Test Results window.
2. Dynamic Management of Object Repositories:
Quick
Test now has a new Repositories Collection reserved object that you can
use to programmatically manage the set of object repositories that are
associated with an action during a run session.
3.Object Repository Manager:
You can use the Object Repository Manager to manage the entire shared object
repositories in your organization from one, central location.
4. Object Repository Merge Tool:
You
can use the Object Repository Merge Tool to merge the objects from two
shared object repositories into a single shared object repository. You
can also use the Object Repository Merge Tool to merge objects from the
local object repository of one or more actions or components into a
shared object repository
5.Handling Missing Actions and Resources:
Whenever
a testing document (test, component, or application area) contains a
resource that cannot be found, QuickTest opens the Missing Resources
pane and lists the missing resource(s).
6. Function Library Editor:
QuickTest
now has a built-in function library editor, which enables you to create
and edit function libraries containing VBScript functions, subroutines,
modules, and so forth, and then call their functions from your test or
component
7. Multiple Object Repositories per Action or Component
8. XML Object Repository Format:
Features provided with QTP 9.5

Features provided with QTP 10.0
Manage Testing Assets, Dependencies, and Versions in Quality Center (QC) 10.0 - QTP 10.0 has enhanced integration with Quality Center that provides support for asset versioning and asset comparison
Perform Local System Monitoring While Running Your Tests - This feature (found at File > Settings > Local System Monitor) enables you to monitor the local computer resources used by the application you are testing during a run session. This will enable you to more greatly determine the affect your test is having on the system at run-time.
Add Portability by Saving Copies of Tests with Their Resource Files - If you need to execute tests that utilizes resources stored in Quality Center, in an environment that doesn't have access to the network or Quality Center, this feature will be extremely useful. It provides the ability to save a standalone, local copy of the tests with its associated resources.
Develop Your own Bitmap Checkpoint Comparison Algorithm - With this feature, you can develop custom comparer COM objects that perform bitmap checkpoints according to your test requirements.
Manage Your Testing Tasks in the To Do Pane - This new To-Do pane enables you to create and manage self-defined tasks, and to view a compiled set of the To-Do comments from your tests, components, and associated function library.
Improve Test Results Analysis with New Reporting Functionality - New functionality includes Jump to Step, exporting results to Word or PDF formats, adding images to Report Event steps, difference images for bitmap checkpoints, and additional information for Quality Center runs.
Call Actions Dynamically During the Test Run - With the new LoadAndRunAction statement, you now have the ability to load and run an action only when the step with the statement is executed.This is useful, for example, if you use many conditional statements that call external actions, and you do not want to load all of these actions each time you open the test, since these actions may not be necessary during the run session.
Test Standard and Custom Delphi Objects - With the new Delphi Add-in, you can test Win32 VCL Delphi control

- Features provided with QTP 11.0
Identify objects not only using normal object identification but with XPath and CSS identifier properties. A much awaited and a killer feature
2. Good Looking and Enhanced Results Viewer
The
new improved results viewer provides an executive summary page with
summary data, pie charts and statistics for both the current and
previous runs and a quick link to the previous run results.
3. Easy Regular Expressions
You can now create reg ex
with the help of syntax hints. Regular Expression Evaluator is
available to test regular expressions that you have created. Good One.
4. Now identify objects not only in relation to each other but in relation to neighboring objects.
With
this feature, QTP 11 has moved beyond the unreliability of ordinal
identifiers. Objects identified with ordinal identifiers are good only
as long as they maintain their relative positions with respect to each
other in the new build of application. In case if this position changes
or gets interchanged, ordinal identifiers may go for a toss.
5. HP has now introduced Visual Relation Identifier.
A
visual relation identifier is a set of definitions that enable you to
identify the object in the application according its neighboring objects
in the application. You can select neighboring objects that will
maintain the same relative location to your object, even if the user
interface design changes. You define visual relations in the Visual
Relation Identifier dialog box, which is accessible from the local or
shared object repository, and from the Object Properties dialog box.
6. Load Function Libraries at Run Time
With
the help of LoadFunctionLibrary statement. You can now load a function
library when a step runs instead of at the beginning of a run session.
7. Test Your GUI and UI-Less Application Functionality in One Test
Since QTP is integrated with Service Test, you can now test your GUI and non-GUI based apps in a single run.
8. Record Support
For FireFox is now available.
9. Much Awaited Log Tracking is available now
10. QTP
11 is capable of receiving Java or .NET log framework messages from
your application which can then be embedded in the run results.
11. Embed/Run Javascript in web pages
You
can use the new EmbedScript/EmbedScriptFromFile and
RunScript/RunScriptFromFile functions to embed JavaScripts in all loaded
browser pages. You can use these scripts to perform operations on, or
retrieve data from, the browser pages in your application.
12. Manage Test Data
Improved test data management when integrated with Quality Center
13. Web 2.0 Toolkit Applications Support
QTP 11 now supports Web 2.0 Toolkit Applications out-of-the-box similar to any other add-ins.
14. Automatically Parameterize Steps
You can instruct QTP 11 to automatically parameterize test steps at the end of record session.
15. Silverlight Add-in
To
test objects in Silver light 2 and Silver light 3 applications. [After
installation, Silver light Add-in is displayed in the Add-in Manager as a
child add-in under the WPF Add-in]
16. Extend WPF and Silver light Support
You
can use WPF and Silver light Add-in Extensibility SDK to develop
