What is smart identification?

Answer Posted / umasankar

When QuickTest uses the learned description to identify an
object, it searches for an object that matches all of the
property values in the description. In most cases, this
description is the simplest way to identify the object,
and, unless the main properties of the object change, this
method will work.

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.

While the Smart Identification mechanism is more complex,
it is more flexible. Therefore, if configured logically, a
Smart Identification definition can probably help QuickTest
identify an object, if it is present, even when the learned
description fails.

The Smart Identification mechanism uses two types of
properties:

Base Filter Properties: The most fundamental properties of
a particular test object class; those whose values cannot
be changed without changing the essence of the original
object. For example, if a Web link's tag was changed from
<A> to any other value, you could no longer call it the
same object.

Optional Filter Properties: Other properties that can help
identify objects of a particular class. These properties
are unlikely to change on a regular basis, but can be
ignored if they are no longer applicable.
