Explain Object Repository in QTP.

QTP stores the recorded object properties in Object repository. It displays a Test Tree of all the objects in the current action or entire test.

When we create new test, there will be two ways to store test objects and the types of object repository are,

1)      Local object repository

Local object repository stores objects in a file that is associated with one specific action, so only that action can access the stored objects.

2)      Shared object repository

Shared object repository stores test objects in a file that can be accessed by multiple tests.

The Object repository is used to,

1)      View or Modify the properties of any test object in the repository

2)      Add new objects to the repository.

3)      You can use the same shared object repository for multiple actions, if the actions include the same object.
