QTP has two views:

1. Keyword view
2. Expert view

In keyword view one can see the object, the operation performed on it and it's value.
In keyword driven testing you use the recorded object to generate operations on it.

I mean you select a object and press F7 or right click the mouse and select insert step menu, that way you can generate code without having to generate it manually.   This is called keyword driven testing. Each object visible can be thought of as keyword.

QTP deploys the concept of keyword-driven testing to enhance the test creation and maintenance.

Keyword-driven testing is a technique that separates much of the programming work from the actual test steps so that the test steps can be developed earlier and can often be maintained with only minor updates, even when there are significant changes in your application or your testing needs.

Using the keyword-driven approach, test automation experts have full access to the underlying test and object properties .
