When running a test, if a step does not succeed in opening
dialog box, QTP does not necessarily abort the test run. It
bypasses any step designated "optional" and continues
running the test.
By default, automatically QTP markes as optional steps that
open certain dialog boxes. You can manually designate
additional steps as optional.

An optional step is a step that is not necessarily required
to successfully complete a run session. For example,
suppose that when recording a test, the application you are
testing prompts you to enter a user name and password in a
login window. When you run the test, however, the
application does not prompt you to enter your user name and
password because it retained the information that was
previously entered. In this case, the steps that were
recorded for entering the login information are not
required and should, therefore, be marked optional.
During a run session, if a step in an optional dialog box
does not open, QuickTest bypasses this step and continues
to run the test. When the run session ends, a message is
displayed for the step that failed to open the dialog box,
but the step does not cause the run to fail.
However, if, during a run session, QuickTest cannot find
the object from the optional step in the object repository
For example, if the object name was modified in the test
but not in the object repository, or if the object was
removed from the object repository, an error message is
displayed listing the required object, and the run fails.
