There are three types of recording modes available in QuickTest Pro.
1.Normal mode
2.Analog mode
3.Low-level recording mode

Normal mode: This is the default mode of recording in QTP ,Object and the Operation associated/performed with Object can be recorded.This mode takes full advantage of QuickTest's test object model,recognizing the objects in AUT regardless of their location on the screen.Analog mode:This mode records exact mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to the screen / application window.This mode is useful for the operation which you can record at object level,such as drawing a picture,recording signature.the steps recoded using Analog mode are saved in seperate data-file,Quick tests adds to your test a Run Analog file statement that calls the recorded Analog file.This file is stored with your action in which these Analog steps are created.The steps recorded in Analog mode can not be edited within QuickTest.Low-level
recording mode:enables you to record any object or operation in your AUT whether or not QuickTest recognizes the it.This Low-level recording is useful when the exact location of an Object/operation in your AUT is important for your test.This mode records in terms of X,Y co-ordinates.Unlike in Analog mode,the steps can be seen in Test script,as well in Keyword view.

Norma is typically used for normal recording to capture operations on the application,ie.when all the screen snapshots need to be taken for each step.

Analog is generally used for Bitmap capturing.

Low level recording captures the mouse movements with respect to the co-ordinates on the Application Window.

There 3 types of recording modes

Normal : records the objects in the app and operations performed.

Analog : used to record mouse and keyboard operations.

Low-level : used to record objects that not recognised by QTP and also when exact coordinates are important for your test

Three types of recording modes
1.Normal recording:it is like object oriented recording

2.Low level recording:it is well useful in multimedia applications.

3.Analog recording:By this we can know the Mouse pointer movements.

There are three types of regarding modes available in QTP

1.Normal:
    Script is generated based on the properties of the object which is default one.

Note:
   Usually we use Normal regarding mode only...
where the mouse movements r not required there we can use normal recoding 
 
2.Analog:
     Script ill be generated based on the mouse movements
it has two types as
                1.Relative to the screen
                2.relatine to the window

 
3.Lowlevel:

    Based on the co-ordinates of the object script ill be created..



NOTE:

If we want to record the exact location of the operation we can go with lowlevel 

Use Analog (or) Lowlevel when the app can't be recoded accurately by using Normal recording mode.....

Basically there 3 types of recording modes provided by QTP

1. Normal Recording Mode or Context Sensitive Recording mode
This recording mode is used for recording the operations performed on the standard GUI objects in different situations

2. Analog Recording Mode
This recording mode is used for recording continuous operations on the application
The generated script during this mode will not understandable by the Tester.

3. Low Level Recording Mode
This is a Special recording mode provided by the QTP which is used for recording atleast some minimum operations on the Non-Supported Environments also.

Drawbacks
1. All the operations cannot clearly recorded.
2. Script generated is not understandable and enhanceable.

there are 3 types of recording
normal recording
low level recording
analog recording

normal recording:records standard operation performs on graphical user interface(gui) objects

analogue recording:qtp records exact mouse movement and track keyboard operation

low level recording::we use this recording to record basic operation when qtp fails to identify respective class

Context Sensitive Recording mode

Normal recording mode is also called Context Sensitive Mode
It is the default mode of recording which takes full advantage of Quick Test Professional's test object model.
It recognizes objects in application regardless of their location on the screen.
It records the objects in your application and the operations performed on them

Analog Recording Mode

In analog recording mode, Quick Test Professional records and tracks every movement of the mouse as you drag the mouse around a screen or window.
QTP Analog recording is captured as Tracks and stored in the directory of your test
It is useful for recording operations that cannot be recorded at the level of an object. Eg., A signature produced by dragging the mouse
In Analog mode you can record 1) Record Relative to screen & 2) Relative to window
When your analog operation are confined to just one window , use relative to window
When your analog operation involve multiple screens like dragging and dropping an object from one window to other use the screen option

Low Level Mode

This mode enables you to record on any object in your application, irrespective of QTP recognizes the specific object or the specific operation.
This mode records at the object level and records all run-time objects as either Window or WinObject test objects..
It is used when the exact coordinates of the object are important for your tests. A good example would be hashmaps where clicking different sections of a picture takes you to different links
Used when recording tests in an environment (or on an object) not recognized by QTP
Low level mode records the x,y coordinates of any clicks

There are 3 types of recording modes:

1) Normal recording mode
2)Low level recording mode
3)Analog recording mode

Normal recording mode: This is the default recording mode that takes full advantage of QTP's test object model.
It recognizes the object regardless of their position on-screen. This is the preferred recording mode and is used for most of the automation activities.

Low level recording mode: This mode is used to record the exact X,Y coordinates of the mouse operations.
It is helpful in testing hash maps.It is useful for recording objects that are not identified by normal recording mode.

Analog recording mode: This mode is used to record the exact mouse and keyboard operations on the screen or on the application window.This mode is useful for the operations in drawing pictures,Recording signatures, drag and drop operations etc..
