Differences between QTP 9.2, QTP 9.5 and QTP 10.00
Hi,
Below are the differences you can tell between the QTP versions; those who are putting up QTP experience; in the project point of you it is suggested to put QTP 9.2 / 9.5 but you can mention in the Skill set that QTP 10.00 you have knowledge
Note: All the new Features of QTP 9.5 are available in QTP 10.00 and QTP 10.00 has new features compared to QTP 9.5
New Features of QTP 9.5 which are not in QTP 9.2
Repair the object properties in the Repository if the properties are changed in the application in new build.
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
Display the list of Actions in the Test and the sequence they are executed
Available Keywords Pane
All Test Objects and functions in are displayed.Rapid test development with drag & drop of objects, functions into expert view. And Object repository now also supports drag & drop
Resources Pane :
All resources associated with the test. You can see all your library file in this pane
Missing Resources Pane
Display the List of resources associated to the test but not available in the location during runtime
Relative Path Helper
Improved Bitmap Checkpoint
Bitmpap Checkpoint has Tollerence values for pixels and color
Web Extensibility :
1.Anyone can add support for new web controls
2.Rapid development in JavaScript
3.Solid infrastructure supplied by the Web add-in
4.Extensibility objects are first class citizens
5.Built-in toolkit: ASPAjax
Tabbed browsing :

New Features of QTP 10.00
1. Centrally Manage and Share Testing Assets, Dependencies, and Versions inQuality Center
In the earlier version of QC, the Test Assets like ( Repository, Library, Recoveries ) are placed in the Attachments and if these assets are associated to the Test there is no dependencies information.
In QC 10.00 there is a new Section called “Test Resources” in the section we can place all the Assets and associate these to the Test Script. The QC tool maintains the dependencies information between the Assets and Test Script.
It also provides build in Version control; when the Test case/ scripts ...etc is checkout and checkin into QC it will maintain a new version which is similar concept in VSS.
2. Perform Single-User Local System Monitoring While Running Your Tests
we can observe the performance of the local system when the script is executed. Like usage of memory, GDI objects, Thread counters.
Navigation: To select the Local System Motitoring
File menu-->Settings--> Local System Monitoring
Select the “Enable Local System Monitoring every seconds”
Select the Application name
Select the counter and Limit size
After the Test Run, the status is shown in the Test Results
3. Improve Portability by Saving Copies of Tests Together with Their Resource Files
When we save the test from QC into local system ; all the associated assets like Object Repositories, Function Libraries, Recovery Scenarios are also copied to the local system and we can run the script from local system with out any change in the assoication assets path / with out any changes.
Steps :
Open the Test in QTP which is in the QC
File menuà select “Save Test with Resources”
Following type of details are displayed
select the location in local system to save the file and save
4. Call Actions Dynamically During the Test Run
we can dynamically load and run actions instead of Call to Existing action and associating the reusable Actions. These action is loaded into memory and run only when the statement is executed and not during the Test / Action open.
Syntax: Loadandrunaction “Path of QTP test”,”Actioname”
5. Develop Your Own Bitmap Checkpoint Comparison Algorithm

6. Centrally Manage Your Work Items and ToDo Tasks in the To Do Pane
we can make a note of all the tasks to be perfomed in the TODO Pane
View menu--> To Do List
7. Improve Test Results Analysis with New Reporting Functionality
A. Export Results Report
The results can be exported to DOC, PDF files also apart from HTML.
In the Results window ; File menu--> Export Report
B. Reporter.ReportEvent
During the script execution for any failed steps we can capture the bitmap and display it in the results window along with Reporter.ReportEvent method
Example:
If condition is falied then
Window(“Flight Reservation”).CaptureBitmap “b1.bmp”
Reporter.ReportEvent 1,”Error”,”The error message in the window”,”b1.bmp”
End if
C. Jumping to a Step in QuickTest
We can view the step in QuickTest that corresponds to a node in the run results tree.
To view the step in the test that corresponds to a node:
Select a node in the run results tree.
Perform one of the following:
Click the Jump to Step in QuickTest button from the Run Results toolbar.
Right-click and select Jump to Step in QuickTest from the context-sensitive menu.
Select View > Jump to Step in QuickTest.
The QuickTest window is activated and the step is highlighted.
8. Test Standard and Custom
We can use the QuickTest Professional Delphi Add-in to test objects in
The
Product Enhancements
1.Upgrade from QuickTest 9.5
If QuickTest 9.5 is installed on the computer, we can choose to upgrade to QuickTest version 10.00. This enables us to continue using many of the configurations and options we have already set in QuickTest 9.5. We can also use an msi silent installation command line to upgrade from QuickTest 9.5.
2.Improved IntelliSense Functionality
QuickTest now provides full IntelliSense for the following types of objects:
Objects created by a step or function (for example, by calling the CreateObject method)
Variables to which an object is assigned
Reserved objects
COM objects
3.Added Control for Editing and Managing Actions in Automation Scripts
The QuickTest Professional Automation Object Model has a new set of objects and methods for manipulating test actions and action parameters. We can now use automation scripts to create new actions, modify and validate the syntax of action scripts, create and modify action parameters, and more.
4.Improved Debugger Pane Design and Functionality
The Debug Viewer pane has a new look, including icons to help us identify the type of information displayed.
The Watch tab and Variable tab now display the types of expressions or variables, in addition to their names and values.
The Command tab now displays the command history (in read-only format) in addition to the command line, enabling us to view previously-run commands and select commands to reuse.
In addition, a right-click context menu in the Command tab enables us to:
copy from the command history and edit the command line using the clipboard.
clear the command history.
5.New Object Identification Solutions in Maintenance Run Mode
In addition to helping us update the steps and object repositories when objects in the application change, the Maintenance Run Wizard can now help to solve the following problems:
The step failed because the object in the test is missing from the action's associated object repositories.
The object in the step exists in the application, but can be identified only through Smart Identification.
6.Additional Configuration Settings for Text Recognition Mechanism
We can now set all text recognition configuration settings from the QuickTest Options Dialog Box (Tools > Options > General > Text Recognition), including new options for selecting the text block mode and specifying the languages to be used with the OCR mechanism. This makes it easier to make any necessary adjustments and to optimize the way that QuickTest identifies text in the application.
7.New Look for Options, Settings, and File Dialog Boxes
8.QuickTest Toolbar Customization Options
We can use the new Customize Dialog box (Tools > Customize) to customize the appearance of existing menus and toolbars, and to create our own user-defined menus, toolbar buttons, and shortcuts.
We can also add new commands to the QuickTest Tools menu so that we can launch an application directly from the menu. For example, we can use this option to create a shortcut to the application we want to test or to an automation script.
9.Improved Web Extensibility
10. .NET Add-in and Extensibility Improvements
11.New Terminal Emulator Configuration Validation
