    Re: Smart Identification

    Smart i dentification is a method of identifying objects in QTP.
    The object consist of many number of properties and the tool can not require my propertis of an obect. If some problem to idebntify an object by
    the tool, the tool can choose this option to identify an object. It will occure in rare cases.

    Re: Smart Identification

    Smart identification is used to identify the objects.

    Object Identification is done in 3 ways.
    1)Ordinary brain of QTP
    a)Mandatory properties
    b)Assistive properties
    OR
    2)Smart brain of QTP
    a)Base filter properties
    b)Optional filter properties
    OR
    3)Ordinal Identifier

    Generally,during the exection time,it firstly identifies the Ordinary brain.If it does not identify the objects using the ordinary brain,it uses the Smart brain.If its still not able to identify any objects,then only it will use the Ordinal identifier.Usually smart brain will be disabled.

    Smart Identification is the least level object identification mechanism in QTP.

    Re: Smart Identification

    Object identification:

    QTP will identify the object in the following manner during the running.
    It will understand the script statement.

    Then it releases that it needs to from some action on some object, for that it
    needs some information about that object.

    For that information it will go to the object repository and get the information
    from their.

    With that information it will try to identify that object. If it all the object
    is identified it will perform action on that object. Here the information means
    object properties.

    And now the question is that how it is learning those properties, to identify
    the objects.

    This is the point where every one thinking his one style, but the fact is that.
    That the process of learning is like this.

    There are two types of object identification that QTP normally uses apart from
    the ordinal identifiers.

    In general there are four types of properties that QTP having.

    Mandatory properties.

    Assistive properties.

    Base filter properties.

    Optional filter properties.

    And ordinal identifiers like location, index and creation time.

    As I told that QTP will be using two types of object identification.

    The first one is normal identification.
    In this identification the learning of the properties will be in the following
    way.

    First the QTP will learn all the mandatory properties at a time. And with these
    properties it will try to identify the object if at all it feels these
    properties are sufficient to identify the object uniquely, and then it will stop
    learning and use those properties. If at all it feels these properties are not
    sufficient to identify the object uniquely, then it will learn the first
    assistive property. And try to identify the object with those properties
    (mandatory and first assistive property), if at all it feels that these
    properties are sufficient to identify the object uniquely then it will stop
    learning and use those properties to identify the object. If it feels these
    properties are not sufficient to identify the object uniquely. Then it will
    learn the second assistive property and repeat the same process till it identify
    the object uniquely. If at all it fails to identify the object uniquely by using
    all these properties also. Then the ordinal identifiers come into picture. This
    is the process QTP identifies the objects when the smart identification is
    disable.

    The second type of identification is smart identification.
    In the process QTP will be learning all the mandatory, base filter properties
    and optional filter properties at time. But the identification process is as
    follows.

    If you invoke the smart identification then also first QTP will try to identify
    the object by using normal identification process. That is the above process
    apart from the ordinal identifier. Now it will not use the ordinal identifiers.
    If the normal identification fails then it will come to the smart
    identification. And forget about the normal identification also all those
    properties learnt in the normal identification. And now it will using all the
    base filter properties at time and tries to identify the object uniquely. If at
    all it feels that these are sufficient then it will use these properties to
    identify the object uniquely. Otherwise take the first optional filter property
    and same process will continue as above till the object is identified uniquely.
    If at all the smart identification is also fails then it will go to use the
    ordinal identifiers. This the actual process of identification.

    Very well put... applaud-able efforts from monikasangwan

    Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
    lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.
