XPath and CSS based object identification :Identify objects not only using normal object identification but with XPath and CSS identifier properties.

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.

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.

Identify objects not only in relation to each other but in relation to neighboring objects. 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

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.

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.

QTP 11 is capable of receiving Java or .NET log framework messages from your application which can then be embedded in the run results.

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.

QTP 11 now supports Web 2.0 Toolkit Applications out-of-the-box similar to any other add-ins

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]

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

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.
