QTP has some additional functionality which is not present in the Winrunner. For example, you can test (Functionality & Regression Testing) an application developed in .Net technology with QTP, which is not possible to test in Winrunner.

Winrunner was the first tool developed by Mercury Interactive for only functionality testing.  Which is why Winrunner is called a defined tool.

And Astra was the first company to develop a tool for conducting web tests.  The tool developed by Astra company was AQT.  Later Mercury Interactive bought the tool AQT from Astra company and built a new tool with all the features of Winrunner and features of AQT thus naming the new tool as Quick Test Pro (QTP).. this is why QTP is called a designed tool (not a defined tool).  It is said that after 2007 Mercury Interactive is not going to release any further version of Winrunner to the market.
