What is Smart Identification?

Configuring Smart Identification properties enables you to help QuickTest identify objects in your application, even if some of the properties in the object’s learned description have changed.

If QuickTest is unable to find any object that matches the learned object description, or if it finds more than one object that fits the description, then QuickTest ignores the learned description, and uses the Smart Identification mechanism to try to identify the object.

The Smart Identification mechanism uses two types of properties:

Ø Base Filter Properties.

Ø Optional Filter Properties.

Selecting the Enable Smart Identification check box for a particular test object class instructs QuickTest to learn the property values of all properties specified as the object’s base and/or optional filter properties in the Smart Identification Properties dialog box.
