What are Test Objects?

Objects that are used in the recording and their properties are stored in the Object Repository. These stored objects are called test objects. The test objects represent objects of the application in the test. During a test run, QuickTest uses these test objects
to identify objects in the application.

You can delete objects from the Object Repository. You can add or remove properties of an object and change the values of those properties.

Test objects can be stored in two types of object repositories: shared and local. By default, the test objects are stored in the local object repository. These test objects are associated with a specific action and no other action can access these objects.

  • You can choose to store your objects in the shared object repository, which can be accessed by multiple tests.
  • Test objects are different from Run-time objects.You can all these properties in Object Spy.
