Improvements to the Installation Process - QTP 9.5 incorporates several improvements to the installation process. The most dramatic change is offering an all-in-one install for all the supported environments delivered on a single DVD. Coupled with an all-in-one license option, this simplifies the installation process considerably. However, the financial implications of such an all-in-one license are still left to be seen (though previous add-in specific licenses will still work).
New Design-Time Panes - QTP 9.5 continues the theme QTP 9.0 established in putting a massive emphasis on smoothing the user experience and reducing the click-per-action ratio. Operations which were once buried under endless sub-menus, or had no automated interface at all, are now placed front-and-center via the new IDE panes. While the new panes do not deliver any new functionality per-se (aside from the Process Guidance pane), they have the potential to dramatically change the way you generate and maintain your code.
The Object Repository - The first difference noticed when the Local object repository or the Repository manager are opened is the new "Checkpoint and Output Objects" branch in the treeview on the left.
Mercury Screen Recorder - Captures 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.
Dynamic Management of Object Repositories- Programmatically manage an action's shared object repository collection during the test run.
