UFT- Automation Object Model

Automation Object Model:

QTP itself can be automated using the COM interface that is provided by Hp-QTP. Automation object model is a set of objects, methods, and properties that helps testers to control the configuration settings and execute the scripts using the QTP interface. The Key Configurations/actions that can be controlled are listed below but not limited to

1. Loads all the required add-ins for a test
2. Makes QTP visible while execution
3. Opens the Test using the specified location
4. Associates Function Libraries
5. Specifies the Common Object Sync Time out
6. Start and End Iteration
7. Enable/Disable Smart Identification
8. On Error Settings
9. Data Table Path
10. Recovery Scenario Settings
11. Log Tracking Settings
    

QTP 11.5x provides an exclusive documentation on Automation Object model that can be referred by navigating to "Start" >> "All Programs" >> "HP Software" >> "HP Unified Functional Testing" >> "Documentation" >> "Unified Functional Testing Automation Reference"

Generate AOM Script:

Tester can generate AOM Script from QTP itself using "Generate Script" Option. Navigate to "Run" >> "Settings" >> "Properties" Tab >> "Generate Script" as shown below:
