Smart Identification in QTP

Selecting the Enable Smart Identification check box for a particular test object class instructs QuickTest to learn the property values of all properties specified as the object's base and/or optional filter properties in the Smart Identification Properties dialog box.

By default, some test objects already have Smart Identification configurations and others do not. Those with default configurations also have the Enable Smart Identification check box selected by default.

You should enable the Smart Identification mechanism only for test object classes that have defined Smart Identification configuration. However, even if you define a Smart Identification configuration for a test object class, you may not always want to learn the Smart Identification property values. If you do not want to learn the Smart Identification properties, clear the Enable Smart Identification check box.

Note: Even if you choose to learn Smart Identification properties for an object, you can disable use of the Smart Identification mechanism for a specific object in the Object Properties or Object Repository dialog box.

However, if you do not learn Smart Identification properties, you cannot enable the Smart Identification mechanism for an object later.
