Object Identification: -

QTP’s object identification concept is based on 4 types of


properties and an ordinal identifier.

Types of properties:

• Mandatory properties

• Assistive properties

• Base Filter properties

• Optional Filter properties

A test engineer can specify list of mandatory properties, assistive properties,


base filter properties, optional filter properties and ordinal identifier.

QTP will learn the information in the following way: -

First of all QTP will learn all the specified mandatory properties and then think
whether these properties are sufficient to identify the object uniquely. If it feels
sufficient it will stop learning. Otherwise it will learn the 1st assistive property. Then
once again think whether all the properties are sufficient for identifying the object
uniquely. If at all it feels sufficient it will stop learning otherwise it will learn the 2nd
assistive property and then think again whether all these properties are sufficient
for identifying the object uniquely. This process continues till the QTP get satisfied or
up to the end of the assistive properties list.

If still QTP feels not satisfied then finally it will learn the ordinal identifier. All
the properties learnt during this process will be stored in the object repository.

If at all the smart identification option is selected then the QTP will learn the
base filter properties, optional filter properties along with the mandatory properties
and stores the base filter properties and optional filter properties separately and
secretly and then continues with the same procedure as above.

QTP uses the learnt information in the following way to identify the object: -

First of all QTP will use all the properties present in the object repository
except ordinal identifier and tries to identify the object. If it fails then it will enter
into the smart brain by forgetting about all the properties present in the object
repository and then considers all the base filter properties and try to match with all
the objects in the AUT. The objects that are matched with all these properties are
formed as a list and if the list is containing only one object then that is the object.
Otherwise it will take the support of first optional filter property and try to match
with the objects in the list. Whatever the objects that are matched with this
property will be formed as a new list and if the list contains only one object then
that is the object. Otherwise it will take the support of 2nd optional filter property
and try to match with all the properties in the new list. This procedure continues till
the list contains one object or up to the end of the optional filter properties list.

If still the QTP is unable to identify the object then it will go to the object
repository and if at all the ordinal identifier is available in the object repository then
it will identify the object roughly using the ordinal identifier.

Smart Identification: - Smart Identification is a mechanism provided by


QTP, which is used for identifying the objects even though some properties are
dynamically changed.

Ordinal Identifiers: - There are 3 types of ordinal identifiers.

1. Location

2. Index

3. Creation Time

1. Location: If at all the Location is selected as an ordinal identifier then the QTP
will generate the sequence of numbers from 0,1,2,… based on the sequence of the
objects located in the application.

2. Index: If at all the index is selected as an ordinal identifier then the QTP will
generate the sequence of numbers from 0,1,2,… based on the sequence of the
programs of the corresponding objects.

3. Creation time: If at all the creation time is selected as an ordinal identifier


then the QTP will generate the sequence of numbers from 0,1,2,... based on the
loading time of a web page.
