Shared Object Repository is preferable while dealing with dynamic objects which are called in multiple tests. The extension is ".tsr"

2) Define action split and what is the purpose of using this in QTP?

Ans: Action split is to divide an existing action into two parts. The purpose is to divide actions based on their functionality to improve code re use.

3) How can we hold Java tree in QTP?

Ans: First we have to select Java Add In and launch QTP. Next, record operations on the Java Tree. If you face an issue while recording, you can select Tools > Object Identification > Java, tree object and make changes in mandatory and assistive properties to facilitate classification.

4) Mention how QTP identifies object?

Ans: Logical name is a name given by QTP while creating an object in the repository to uniquely identify it from other objects in the application. This name would be used by the QTP to map the object name in script with its corresponding description in the object repository.

 Ex: Browser ("Browser").Page ("Guru99") Here Guru99 is the logical name of the object.

Ans: Step Generator enables us to Add Test Steps in your script. Using step generator you can add steps to your script without actually recording it.

10) Define Test Fusion Report?

Ans: Test Fusion Report, displays all aspects of a test run and is prepared in a Tree format. It gives complete details of each step executed for all iterations. It also gives Run-time data table, Screen shots and movie of the test run if opted.
