What are the new features in QTP 9.2

Mercury Screen Recorder: You can instruct QuickTest to save a movie of your entire run session or to capture only the segments surrounding errors or warnings that occur. This can be useful to help you see how your application behaved under test conditions or to debug your test or component.

When you select a step in the test results tree and click the Screen Recorder tab, the right pane of the Test Results window displays the frame in the movie corresponding to the highlighted step in the test results tree.

Once you have a movie stored with your test results, you can export the movie file or attach the movie file to the defects you report to Quality Center. You can also use the Mercury Micro Player if you want to watch a captured movie without opening QuickTest.

You can customize the criteria QuickTest uses to save movies in the Run tab of the Options dialog box.

You can customize the criteria QuickTest uses to save movies by selecting Always, For errors, or For errors and warnings in the Save movies to results list in the Run tab of the Options dialog box.

To configure screen recorder options, follow below navigation:

Tools -> Options -> Run Tab

Dynamic Management of Object Repositories: QuickTest now has a new RepositoriesCollection reserved object that you can use to programmatically manage the set of object repositories that are associated with an action during a run session.

At the beginning of a run session, the RepositoriesCollection object contains the same set of object repository files as the Associated Repository Files tab of the Action Properties dialog box. The operations you perform on the RepositoriesCollection object affect only the run-time copy of the collection.

You can use the RepositoriesCollection object to associate or disassociate shared object repositories with an action during a run session or change the priority order of the objects in the list.

We can associate the object repositories to an action by following below navigation:

Edit Menu -> Action -> Action Properties -> Associate Repositories tab.
