How QTP learns object while recording

As you record your test, QTP will add an entry into an object repository as test object for each item you interact with. Each Object will be identified by a logical name (determined automatically by QTP), and contains a set of properties (type, name, etc) that uniquely identify each object.

How QTP recognizes the objects during Run time

QTP searches for a run-time object that exactly matches the description of the test object stored in the repository. Description is the physical property and logical name used for identifying an object

What is an Object Repository

QTP stores the definitions for application objects in a file called the Object Repository.
