QuickTest Professional provides the ability to merge existing assets from two repositories into a single shared object repository using the Object Repository Merge Tool. This tool enables you to merge two shared object repositories (called the primary object repository and the secondary object repository), into a new third object repository, called the target object repository. Objects in the primary and secondary object repositories are automatically compared and then added to the target object repository according to preconfigurable rules that define how conflicts between objects are resolved.
After the merge process, the Object Repository Merge Tool provides a graphic presentation of the original objects in the primary and secondary repositories, which remain unchanged, as well as the objects in the merged target object repository. Objects that had conflicts are highlighted. The conflict of each object that you select in the target object repository is described in detail. The Object Repository Merge Tool provides specific options that enable you to keep the suggested resolution for each conflict, or modify each conflict resolution individually, according to your requirements.
The Object Repository Merge Tool also enables you to merge objects from the local object repository of one or more actions into a shared object repository. For example, you may have learned objects locally in a specific action in your test and want to add them to the shared object repository, so that they are available to all actions in different tests that use that object repository.
Note: When the Object Repository Merge Tool is open, you cannot work with the Object Repository Manager
