Here is the complete list of new features that are available in QTP 11
XPath and CSS based object identification
Identify objects not only using normal object identification but with XPath and CSS identifier properties. A much awaited and a killer feature
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Record Support
For FireFox is now available.
Much Awaited Log Tracking is available now
QTP 11 is capable of receiving Java or .NET log framework messages from your application which can then be embedded in the run results.
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.
Manage Test Data
Improved test data management when integrated with Quality Center
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.
Automatically Parameterize Steps
You can instruct QTP 11 to automatically parameterize test steps at the end of record session.
Silverlight Add-in
To test objects in Silverlight 2 and Silverlight 3 applications. [After installation, Silverlight Add-in is displayed in the Add-in Manager as a child add-in under the WPF Add-in]
Extend 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
Use Extensibility Accelerator for Web Add-in Extensibility Development
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.

Thanks Ankur. It is very informative and clear about QTP 11 features.
Ankur,
I just thought I would let you know that loading functions at run time is not new with 11.0, but has been available since 2008 or possibly earlier with the FileExecute command. This was/is a very nice feature that also allows you to reload a library in the event that you may have modified it at run time and want to reload it or have a debug library that contains functions that are loaded at the start of your test that you want to over-ride with the same functions from a library that you’re tesing. It’s really nice when you want to test your own modified functions and not impact the original functions. This was a topic that I brought up at the HP Software conference in 2008 with Ayal Cohen.
@Christopher: Thanks for your comment. You’re correct that FileExecute command could be used to debug libraries. However this command does’t provide Debugging support. Maybe that’s the reason HP thought of coming up with LoadFunctionLibrary command?

I like QTP, I have also worked on several projects and also developed keyword driven framework in QTP but again I prefer to have open source tool like selenium over QTP because of very high price.
Thanks for sharing information about QTP 11.
It is great, many features coming……….thanks for share this.
in qtp 11 if i run the web application it is not recording like dolog(“login”).winedit—but is recordingWindow(“Google Chrome”).WinObject(“Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND”).Click
is there any change with this .
@ Ankur, this is a good article. It was very informative and I have already made my recommendations to my client. Yes, we are going for QTP 11. Will get in touch with you if I need any help. Thanks for the post.
@ Kasi, I have worked on Xpath and CSS identifiers extensively. I know it is very useful in automation tools like Selenium, but I am not sure if it will be helpful in QTP. As it it QTP provides a lot of advanced features and properties that we can use to track an object. Xpath??? according to me will not be of much use.
Does QTP 11 support applications built on .Net framework 4.0?
any one real time scenarios worked on using the features XPath and CSS identifier properties? I don’t see any high value in it other than just one of the feature
Good Stuff. Thx!!!

I cannot record anything.when i run recording i got this message.”The browser application can’t be launched.possibly the url is wrong”

Hi Ankur,
After read your post then only I came to know the latest version of QTP. Thanks for your post
very useful imformation…. i dont know about silverlight application… can u tell about this Sl2 and how QTP is going to support it…
Thanks and Regards
Sudhakar
Thank you for the latest version of QTP. It has many nice features added.
I downloaded and installed QTP 11 trial.
Is the Flex support not there? I did not see Flex add-in provided in the list of add-ins with th einstaller?
Where can I get the flex plugin for trial with QTP 11?
Thanks for providing this information about qtp 11.0
Everyone should try and move away from QTP and HP. Their licensing scheme is rediculous and the product is sub-par. Ranorex is the way to go for both SilverLight and Windows testing.
hi ,
any one worked on RFT and QTP both , let me know ur thougt on whch tool is best , as i have some updates and thoughts on this as i have been working for both the tools parallay

hi all ,
Nothing much with new version QTP 11 i, i belive , its all market strategy , only new stuff is
1.XPath and CSS based object identification
2. object identification with respect to neighobour object .
Other then this all are just other way around features available in previous versions .

what is Severity and Priority
The new xpath object recognition feature is a total disappointment. A part that is supported only when you record (no DP capability) but it also doesn’t support more than half of standard xpath object that are for example recognizable by Selenium in Firefox.. And Firefox support goes only as far to v3.5 So this feature is far from being a “killer” one. With few exceptions the new features are just “make overs” of the old ones, no “revolution” as it was expected. I am afraid that QTP will lose it’s market and followers (me being the huge on) very soon (at last in Web testing) if HP continues like this?
When will QTP support Silverlight 4.0? I downloaded the trial version of QTP 11 but it still doesn’t support SL4. Surely someone from HP is reading this and can answer. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the information..
Thanks for sharing such great information it is very useful for all the people who r using the qtp
Hi Ankur,
Both the videos you have posted are very informative and clear for anyone who wants to start on thier own framework. Thanks for the permission to post them on my blog , will hope to see you reading my blog as it would have the best of most interesting posts on the web . Let me know if you want to add or change anything .
Best Regards,

Can anyone explain brief about QTP 11 comparing with QTP9.2?
This article is helping me a-lot… Thanks everyone… 🙂
Thanks for your post
Hi Ankur,
This article is very informative, Thanks for sharing 🙂
I downloaded and installed QTP11,but it is asking license.
Can any body help me how to get the license.
Ankur,
Thank q for sharing the good news…
Really Excellent and long awaited features are added in QTP 11
Hi Ankur,
After read your post then only I came to know the latest version of QTP. Thanks for your post
I am having basic doubt like in real time industry when will the QTP is used. I mean in which phase of the testing life cycle it is used.
1. Tester will start using the tool with out the app url(i.e., using the DP) or after the application is stable he will use the tool
2. If the tester starts using the tool with put the app url from where he will know the objects and its properties.
Thanks for good news
oh … I forgot about CPU utilization … try some profiler you will see how many fields should be corrected first …
Features ? It would be nice if they fix their bugs first/imrpove stability/correct misleading error handling/improve performance …
Yes, we are having more advanced features in QTP 11v on RE, FL, Parameterization,Result Window etc,.
Ankur,
Thanks for the QTP 11 new features, definitely it will help to create robust scripts.
Hi Ankur:
Thanks for information about QTP 11
Any solution for Google Chrome with QTP? QTP 11 supports Chrome?
HP introduce QTP 11 with new features and it’s very usefull for upcoming projects.
sridhar
Great.Thanks for bringing the latest updates.
its really informative
Finally caught up with what Visual Studio 2010 Test Professional (CodedUI + Ranorex) already supports! Descriptive Programming (Regular Expressions + XPATH is a must) now its just a case of allowing people to compile so you dont need a licence for each execution client.
Can we install QTP 11 on windows 7 machine?
Pls reply..
Yes… We can install QTP 11 on Windows 7
