WHAT’S NEW WITH QTP 11?




visual identification of 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.
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.

xpath and css based object identinficaition:

            Identify objects not only using normal object identification but with XPath and CSS identifier properties. A much awaited and killer property.

good looking and enhanced Results viewer:

The new improved results viewer provides executive summary page with summary data, pie charts and statistics of both current and previous runs and a quick link to the previous run results.

The new Run Results Viewer displays the run results of your run session in a set of panes like Show, Hide, Move, and Dock etc.

Once you install Run Results Viewer as standalone installation, you can share Test Results of your Scripts with Business Analysts and Developers who do not work with Quick Test Professional.

easier way of insrting regular expressions:

The new Smart Regular Expression list provides syntax hints that make it easier than ever to insert Regular Expression into your Test Scripts.

It also enables you to access the Regular Expression Evaluator, which lets you test regular expressions to make sure they suites your needs.

silverlight add-in support:

New version enables you to use the new Silverlight Add-in to test objects in Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3 Applications.

After you install Silverlight Add-in, it is displayed in Add-in Manager as a child Add-in under WPF Add-in.

extended wpf and silverlight support:

You can use WPF and Silverlight Add-in Extensibility SDK to develop support for testing third-party and custom WPF and Silverlight controls that are not supported out-of-the-box.

You can install Extensibility Accelerator from the Add-in Extensibility and Web 2.0 Toolkits option in the Quick Test Professional Setup window.

load function libraries at run time:

The new LoadFunctionLibrary statement lets you load Function Library when a step runs instead of at the beginning of a run session.  

This means, you can define conditional steps that use functions from various function libraries, but load only the required function libraries at run time.

In addition, QTP 11 enables editing multiple Function Libraries as the same time and allows debugging any Function Library added to the Test Settings à Resources tab.

supports firefox:

New version of QTP supports recording objects in Mozilla Firefox.

embed and Run java scripts in your web page:

New version of QTP provides EmbedScript, EmbedScriptFromFile, RunScript and RunScriptFromFIle methods to embed and run Java Scripts to a web page and capture results.

improved intellisense:

New version of QTP supports improved IntelliSense when compared to older versions. Now IntelliSense also works when creating Test Scripts with Descriptive Level Programming and COM objects created with CreateObject.

Managing test data:

QC/ALM Test Configuration functionality enables you to determine which data sets to use for your Test Scripts at run time.

Test your gui and ui-less application functionality in one test:

Since QTP is now integrated with Service Test, hence now you can test your GUI and non-GUI based applications in single Test Run.

You can use QTP Test Steps to start testing the GUI elements in your application, then call a Service Test Step to validate Service Communications (standard Web Services non SOAP Web Services, REST etc…) and then step back into your Quickest GUI Test Script, all in a single test run.

much awaited log tracking feature:

New version of QuickTest capable for receiving .NET or Java log framework messages from your application and embeds them into to the Run Results window.

automatically parameterize tests:

Now you can instruct QuickTest to automatically parameterize test steps in your Test Action at the end of Record Session.

You can avail this feature by selecting Automatically Parameterize Steps option in the General Tab of the Options dialog box.

improved documentation structure:

When you open QuickTest Help, you can access the entire documentation library from one central point, the Home page. It provides links to all available guides in each available format, including PDF files.

avoid downtime due to license server failures:

Useful for concurrent license users. With redundant license servers you can create failover, so that if your main license server fails, your remaining servers maintain availability of your licenses without causing any downtime or loss of licenses for users.
