Object Repository:
Types of Object in
QTP:
It is a storage place of QTP where we can store the objects information and it also acts as interface between the test script and the AUT in order to identify the objects during execution.
Object:
Object is something, which has structure and
properties.
Objects:
We call windows, WebPages, buttons, edit
boxes, check boxes etc.. as Objects.
There are four types of object available in QTP.
- Run time objects
- Test objects
- Utility objects
- Automation objects/User defined objects.
Run time objects: The objects present in the
AUT. Ex: Buttons, links, etc…
Test Objects: References of Run time
objects. Ex: WinEdit, WinButton, WebButton, Link, etc…
