QTP 11.00 New Features

Ø
Manage Your Test DataQuality Center (HP Application Lifecycle Management) test configuration functionality enables to determine runtime which data sets to use for your tests execution.
HP ALM test configurations enable:
Unbind your data from your tests
Share common data sources across different tests
Filter your data to fit your testing needs
Increase requirements traceability
Test data can be stored in the Quality Center Test Resources module in the form of data table resource files.
Ø
Test Your GUI and UI-Less Application Functionality in One Test
“QuickTest-Service Test” integration enables to test across the GUI and non-GUI layers of the application.
We can use QuickTest steps to start testing the GUI elements in the application, then call a “Service Test” test to validate service communications (standard Web Services, non-SOAP Web Services, such as REST, etc.), and then step back into your QuickTest GUI testing, all in a single test run.
The results of the QuickTest and Service Test steps are displayed in a unified report in the new Run Results Viewer.
Ø
New Run Results Viewer
The new Run Results Viewer provides an Executive Summary page with summary data, pie charts and statistics for both the current and previous runs, a quick link to the previous run results, and more.
The Run Results Viewer displays the results of your run session in a set of panes that you can show, hide, move, dock, and otherwise customize to your needs.
We can install the Run Results Viewer as a standalone installation. This enables you to share the results of your tests with business analysts and developers who do not work with QuickTest.
Ø
Help QuickTest Identify Your Objects as a Manual Tester Would – VISUALLY
We can now use visual relation identifiers to identify application objects based on other objects that are always near them.
This enables to create a more reliable identification definition for test objects that are otherwise difficult to differentiate, and to ensure that the identification remains reliable even if the user interface design changes.
The Visual Relation Identifier Dialog Box provides the interface and tools to help to create and verify the visual relation identifier definitions.
Ø
Collaborate with Developers to Pinpoint Defects Using Log Tracking
QuickTest's new Log Tracking functionality helps to work with developers to pinpoint the root causes of unexpected behavior of the application during run time.
When we enable log tracking, QuickTest receives the Java or .NET log framework messages from the application and embeds the same with the test run results.
We can click a log message in the results to jump to the relevant step in the run results tree, or we can click a step in the run results tree and view the log message that was generated at the time that the selected step ran. we can also specify that a log message of a particular level (or higher) will caused the test execution.
After you view the results, we can also print or export the log tracking details to a file to show to a developer, or we can provide the developer with the standalone Run Results Viewer installation so that the developer can view and analyze the results directly in their system.
Ø
Out-of-the-Box Support for Web 2.0 Toolkit Applications
Now QTP 11.00 provides Web Add-in Extensibility-based add-ins for ASP .NET Ajax, GWT, Yahoo UI, and Dojo Web 2.0 toolkits.
We can use these add-ins just as the regular other add-in. we can also use Web Add-in Extensibility or Extensibility Accelerator to customize the provided support to match our needs.
We can install this add-ins by running the Web 2.0 Toolkit Support Setup from the Add-in Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits option in the QuickTest Professional setup window.
Ø
New Web Testing Capabilities
Many new testing capabilities are now available for working with Web-Based applications.
Firefox Testing: We can now record steps on Mozilla Firefox and use the .Object property to access the Firefox DOM.
XPath, CSS, Identifiers: We can add the XPath or CSS identifier properties to instruct QuickTest to identify a Web object in your application based on its XPath location or CSS definition.
Event Identifiers. You can also now use the attribute/* notation in the test object description to identify a Web-based object based on an event associated with that object. For example, we can add attribute/onClick as a property in a WebButton test object description to identify a button that is associated with the onClick event.
Embed or Run JavaScripts in Your Web Pages. You can use the new EmbedScript/EmbedScriptFromFile and RunScript/RunScriptFromFile functions to embed JavaScripts in all loaded browser pages and frames or to run JavaScripts in specific pages. Use these scripts to perform operations on, or retrieve data from, the browser pages in your application.
Ø
Automatically Parameterize Steps
We can instruct QuickTest to automatically parameterize the steps in our test's actions at the end of a recording session.
This enables us to create actions that can be used for a variety of different purposes or scenarios by referencing different sets of data.
You activate this option by selecting the automatically parameterize steps option in the General tab of the Options dialog box. You can set the option to use Global Data Table Parameters or Test Parameters.
When we stop a recording session while this option is selected, QuickTest replaces the constant values in the test object operation arguments of your steps with either Data Table parameters or action parameters, based on your selection in the Options dialog box.
QuickTest performs this automatic parameterization for all relevant steps in any action in your test, in which you recorded one or more steps during that recording session.
If we work with HP ALM, and we can select the Global Data Table Parameters option, we can map the generated parameters to the column names of a data resource and then use different configurations in your test sets.
If we are working with SAP eCATT and when we select the Test Parameters option, then supply the values for the test parameters from eCATT.
Ø
New Silverlight Add-in
You can use the new Silverlight Add-in to test objects in Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3 applications.
After you install the Silverlight Add-in, it is displayed in the Add-in Manager as a child add-in under the WPF Add-in.
Ø
Extend WPF and Silverlight Support
The WPF and Silverlight Add-in Extensibility SDK enables you to develop support for testing third-party and custom WPF and Silverlight controls that are not supported out-of-the-box by the relevant QuickTest add-ins.
You install the WPF and Silverlight Add-in Extensibility SDK from the Add-in Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits option in the QuickTest Professional setup window.
Ø
Use Extensibility Accelerator for Web Add-in Extensibility Development
The new Extensibility Accelerator for Functional Testing is a Visual Studio-like IDE that facilitates the design, development, and deployment of Web Add-in Extensibility support.
It provides a user interface and special tools that help you define new test object classes, map those test object classes to the controls in your application, and teach QuickTest how to identify the controls, perform operations on the controls and retrieve their properties.
You install the Extensibility Accelerator from the Add-in Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits option in the QuickTest Professional setup window.
Ø
It's Easier Than Ever to Insert Regular Expressions
The Smart Regular Expression list provides syntax hints that make it easier than ever to insert regular expressions into your test steps. It also enables you to access the Regular Expression Evaluator, which lets you test regular expressions to make sure they suit your needs.
Ø
Load Function Libraries at Run Time
The new LoadFunctionLibrary statement lets you load a function library when a step runs instead of at the beginning of a run session. This means, for example, that you can define conditional steps that use functions from various function libraries, but load only the required function libraries during a run session.
Ø
Avoid Downtime Due to License Server Failures
With redundant license servers we can create failover, so that if our main license server fails, other remaining servers maintain availability of your licenses without causing any downtime or loss of licenses for users.
The redundant license server feature is especially useful for enterprise customers who have a large network installation and want to maintain license server backup.

You can execute QTP scripts after locking your system!!!!
You can execute QTP scripts after locking your system, By changing one value in Registry :)
Steps:1. Open registry by typing regedit in the run command.
2. Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\MicTest folder in the registry.
3. Search for "SkipEnvironmentChecks".
4.Change the value to "1" and restart the QTP.
I read this in some QTP forum and after executing one small script, posting in my bolg because it will help a lot for QTP professionals!!!!

What's New in QuickTest Professional 9.5
Maintenance Run Mode:
Repair your test on the fly, this will assist you to adding the steps or updating the object properties in OR on the fly.i.e. If your object properties are changed after a new build, you just run the Maintenance Run Mode and update your OR according to that on the fly.
Process Guidance:
This is little more than more accessible help files. Maybe this is good for when you are first learning to record a test, but it doesn’t seem to add much utility.
Test Flow Pane
The Test Flow pane enables you to view all the calls to actions in the current test and the order in which they are run. You can right-click an action in the pane to view or modify the action or action call properties. You can double-click any action in the pane to open it in the document window. The icons in the flow pane indicate the type of action (local, reusable, external, looped action call, or missing action).
Available Keywords Pane
Use the Available Keywords pane to view all the objects and functions available to your test actions and components (from associated resources) and then drag and drop these objects and functions directly into your test or component.
When you drag and drop an object from the Available Keywords Pane into your test or component, QuickTest inserts a step with the default operation for that object. When you drag and drop a function into your test or component, QuickTest inserts a call to that function.
The Available Keywords pane can display the keywords available to your action or component sorted by resource or sorted by keyword.
Resources Pane
Using the Resources pane, you can associate new resources with your test, and you can remove, open, change the priority of, and otherwise manage the function libraries, recovery scenarios, and object repositories that are already associated with your test.
Missing Resources Pane
Use the Missing Resource pane to resolve references to resources that QuickTest is unable to find, including missing actions, function libraries, shared object repositories, environment variable files, and unmapped repository parameters.
Checkpoint and Output Objects in the Object Repository
For the first time, all your checkpoints and output values are stored as objects in the object repository so that you can manage them together with your test objects.
When these checkpoint and output objects are stored in a shared object repository, you can copy, move, and perform other operations on these objects just like you do with test objects.
In some cases, you may also find it convenient to insert an existing checkpoint or output value object into a new step in order to check, or retrieve data from, another test object of the same class. To do this, you can use the new Insert > Checkpoint > Existing Checkpoint or Insert > Output Value > Existing Output Value options.
Note: Bitmap checkpoints now include options for specifying tolerance values.
New Object Repository Options
When you export local objects to a shared object repository, you can choose to have QuickTest automatically update your steps to refer to the new object from the shared object repository.
Other Enhancements
- By default, new actions are inserted as reusable actions.
- When you specify an absolute path for a resource, QuickTest can automatically convert the path to a relative path.
- You can now specify your text recognition preferences in the Options dialog box.
- In QuickTest 9.5, you can learn objects from multiple technologies in a single learn (Add Objects) operation.
- The Java Add-in now supports recording on SWT objects
