There are two types of repository available in QTP.
- Local repository (.MTR extension)
- Shared repository(.TSR extension)
Local Repository:
Every action in a test will have one local repository (local repository created automatically once you create a new action). The information present in this repository can be used only by that action. Local repository will be created and manged by the QTP itself.
Point to be remembered
- QTP creates a Local Repository for every action automatically. That cannot be shared among tests.
- User can add objects to Local repository.
- User can perform rename, delete operations in local repository. As it is QTP internal file user no need to save modifications.
- Navigation: Resource menu>object repository (Short cut key Ctrl+R)
Adding objects
