lowlevel Recording: In this Mode QTP is Recording  Advanced 
objects that is they are looking like a image but working 
as a button

Normal Recording mode: QuickTest's normal recording mode 
records the objects in your application and the operations 
performed on them. This mode is the default and takes full 
advantage of QuickTest's test object model, recognizing the 
objects in your application regardless of their location on 
the screen.

Analog Recording mode: enables you to record the exact 
mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to 
either the screen or the application window. In this 
recording mode, QuickTest records and tracks every movement 
of the mouse as you drag the mouse around a screen or 
window.

This mode is useful for recording operations that cannot be 
recorded at the level of an object, for example, recording 
a signature produced by dragging the mouse.

You cannot edit analog recording steps from within 
QuickTest.

The steps recorded using Analog Recording are saved in a 
separate data file. This file is stored with the action in 
which the analog steps are recorded.

When you record in Analog Recording mode, QuickTest adds to 
your test a ‘RunAnalog’ statement that calls the recorded 
analog file.

When you record in analog mode relative to the screen, the 
run session will fail if your screen resolution or the 
screen location on which you recorded your analog steps has 
changed from the time you recorded.

Low-level Recording mode: enables you to record on any 
object in your application, whether or not QuickTest 
recognizes the specific object or the specific operation. 
This mode records at the object level and records all run-
time objects as Window or WinObject test objects. Use low-
level recording for recording in an environment or on an 
object not recognized by QuickTest. You can also use low-
level recording if the exact coordinates of the object are 
important for your test .

Each step recorded in Low-Level Recording mode is shown in 
the Keyword View and Expert View. (Analog Recording records 
only the one step that calls the external analog data 
file.)

Three types of recording modes:
1) Normal or context sensitive: It is default recording 
mode. script is captured based on window or screen area co 
oridinates & all objects are identified based on their 
class type

2)Analog Recording: It is a high level recording mode, only 
one line of script is generated for the entire record. By 
default it is disabled. In order to perform analog 
recording, start normal recording & then go to Automation
(menu bar) and select analog recording. while recording 
script is generated  based on desktop co-ordinates.

3)Low Level Recording: Script is generated based on the 
window or screen co-ordinates. All the objects are 
identified as window objects. It would be difficult to 
enhance the script. In this recording, mouse clicks are 
captured. 
By default it is disabled. First start normal recording and 
then goto automation and select low level recording.
