HP QTP Panes Active Screen Pane

The Active Screen provides a snapshot of your application as it appeared when you performed the corresponding step during a recording session. An Active Screen can be captured for every step you record.To view the Active Screen pane, click the Active Screen button or choose View > Active Screen.

The Active Screen enables you to parameterize object values and insert checkpoints, methods, and output values for almost any object in the page after you finish your recording session, even if your application is not available or you do not have a step in your test corresponding to the selected object.

You can specify the level at which QuickTest captures and stores information on objects while recording tests. For example, you can instruct QuickTest to capture all properties for all test objects on the captured screen, or only the properties of the recorded objects and their parents.
