Smart Identification Mechanism

Smart Identification:

Smart identification is a mechanism in QTP to identify Object smartly when object identification fails to identify the object due to changes in object properties.

Smart Identification uses two types of properties,

Base Filter Properties:

These are the most fundamental properties of an object whose values cannot be changed without changing the essence of the original object.

Optional Filter Properties:

Other properties that can help identify Objet.

If smart identification is invoked during test run, in the test results tree a warning message is generated indicating smart identification was invoked and a smart identification step is inserted.
