Can we use XPath in UFT?
The benefit of using XPath in UFT is that XPath alone is sufficient to uniquely identify an object in a Web-based application. If UFT is not able to uniquely identify an object, we can go for XPath to easily identify the object without wasting much time on smart identification and ordinal identifiers.
How does QTP identify objects in the application?
QTP performs the operation only after identifying the object uniquely. In order to identify the object uniquely it uses property values of the respective object which will be stored in the Object Repository. Note: To view the property values of the object, QTP uses Object Spy. Object Spy is a tool available in QTP.
How do you uniquely identify an object in UFT?
UFT One has a predefined set of properties that it learns for each test object. If these mandatory property values are not sufficient to uniquely identify a learned object, UFT One can add some assistive properties and/or an ordinal identifier to create a unique description.
What is ordinal identifier in UFT?
An Ordinal Identifier assigns a numerical value to the test objects, which indicates its location or order relative to its group. The Ordered value enables QTP to recognize it uniquely when the inbuilt properties are NOT sufficient to do so.
