How QuickTest Learns Objects While Recording

  • First, it "looks" at the object on which you are recording and stores it as a test object, determining in which test object class it fits
  • For each test object class, QuickTest has a list of mandatory properties that it always learns;
  • When you record on an object, QuickTest always learns these default property values, and then "looks" at the rest of the objects on the page, dialog box, or other parent object to check whether this description is enough to uniquely identify the object. If it is not, QuickTest adds assistive properties, one by one, to the description, until it has compiled a unique description
