Features provided with QTP 8.2, QTP 9.0 and QTP 9.2
      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 
1.     Maintenance Run Mode  
2.     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. 
3. Available Keywords Pane

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

PRODUCT ENHANCEMENTS 
Upgrade from Quick Test 9.5 - If you have QTP 9.5 Installed on the system, you can choose to upgrade to version 10.0. This will allow you to preserve some of the configuration settings and options that you already have set up. 
 Improved IntelliSense Functionality - QTP now provides full IntelliSense for objects created by a step or function (i.e. objects created by CreateObject method), variables to which an object is assigned, reserved objects, COM objects and properties that return objects. In addition, Intellisense sentence completion now provides lists of local variables. 
Added Control for Editing and Managing Actions in Automation Scripts - The QTP Automation Object Model has a new set of objects and methods for manipulating test actions and action parameters. You can use automation scripts to create new actions, modify and validate the syntax of action scripts, create and modify action parameters, and more. 
Improved Debugger Pane Design and Functionality - The Debug Viewer pan has a new look, including icons to help you identify the type of information displayed. 
New Object Identification Solutions in Maintenance Run Mode - In addition to helping you update your steps and object repositories when objects in application change, the Maintenance Run Wizard can now help you solve problems dealing with test failures due to missing objects, or objects that can only be recognized via Smart Identification. 
Additional Configuration Settings for Text Recognition Mechanism - You can now set all text recognition configuration settings from the QuickTest Options Dialog Box. 
New Look for Options, Settings, and File Dialog Boxes - The QuickTest Options and Settings dialog boxes have changed from their former ta-based design to a more easily navigable tree-based structure. The tree contains only the options relevant for the add-ins that are currently loaded. 
QuickTest Toolbar Customization Options - You can use the new Customize Dialog box to customize the appearance of existing menus and toolbars, and to create your own user-defined menus, toolbar buttons, and shortcuts. 
 Improved Web Extensibility - QTP Web Add-in Extensibility enables you to develop packages that provide high level support for thir-party and custom Web controls that are not supported out-of-the-box by the Web Add-in. 
.NET Add-in and Extensibility Improvements - The .NET Add-in has several new objects and methods, including the SwfPropertyGrid test object (for working with .NET Windows Forms property grids), GetErrorProviderText method and ErrorProviderText identification property. 
New Terminal Emulator Configuration Validation - The new Terminal Emulator pane of the Options dialog box now includes a Validate button. When you click this button, QTP checks the current configurations of the selected emulator. If a problem is detected, a brief description is displayed in the pane.

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.
