   Difference between QTP8.2 and QTP9.0/QTP9.2   

Over and above features provided with QTP 9.0 , QTP 9.2 provides following features:

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.

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. 

Over and above features provided with QTP 8.2 , QTP 9.0 provides following features:

Object Repository Manager:

You
can use the Object Repository Manager to manage all of the shared
object repositories in your organization from one, central location.
This includes adding and defining objects, modifying objects and their
descriptions, parameterizing test object property values, maintaining
and organizing repositories, and importing and exporting repositories
in XML format. 

You can open multiple object repositories at
the same time. Each object repository opens in its own resizable
document window. This enables you to compare the content of the
repositories, to copy or move objects from one object repository to
another, and so forth.

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. 

When you merge objects from two
source object repositories, the content is copied to a new, target
object repository, ensuring that the information in the source
repositories remains unchanged. 

If any conflicts occur during
the merge, for example, if two objects have the same name and test
object class, but different test object descriptions, the relevant
objects are highlighted in the source repositories, and the Resolution
Options pane details the conflict and possible resolutions.

Multiple Object Repositories per Action or Component:

QuickTest
provides several options for storing and accessing test objects. You
can store the test objects for each action or component in its
corresponding local object repository, which is unique for each action
and component. You can also store test objects in one or more shared
object repositories that can be used in multiple actions and
components. Alternatively, you can use a combination of objects from
the local object repository and one or more shared object repositories.
You choose the combination that matches your testing needs.

XML Object Repository Format:

QuickTest
now enables you to import and export object repositories from and to
XML format. This enables you to modify object repositories using the
XML editor of your choice and then import them back into QuickTest. You
can import and export files either from and to the file system or a
Quality Center project (if QuickTest is connected to Quality Center).

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.

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). For example, a test may contain
an action or a call to an action that cannot be found; a testing
document may use a shared object repository that cannot be found; or a
testing document may use a object repository parameter that does not
have a default value. In all of these cases, QuickTest indicates this
in the Missing Resources pane, enabling you to map a missing resource
to an existing one, or remove it from the testing document, as required.
