Object Repositories
QuickTest can store the test objects it learns in two types of
object repository files: shared and local.
A shared object repository
contains test objects that can be used in multiple actions. This versatility
makes it the preferred repository type for storing and maintaining test objects.
By associating a shared object repository with an action, you make the test
objects in that repository available for use in the action. Any maintenance you
perform on an object in a shared object repository is reflected in any step
using that object.
A local object repository
stores test objects that can be used in one specific action. The objects in this
type of repository cannot be used in any other action. Local object repositories
are useful for backing up your test objects, or for learning one or several
objects.
When you create an object repository, try to include only the
objects you need for testing purposes. This keeps the object repository
relatively small and helps makes maintenance and object selection easier. Also,
make sure that you provide logical names so that others can easily choose the
correct objects when creating or modifying tests.
During a run session, QuickTest references the test objects
stored in the associated object repositories in order to perform operations on
the corresponding objects in your application
