The TO and RO property must have confused(or might be still confusing) you at so me point of time.

This is my attempt to demystify the two with the inputs from va rious resources. Test objects are the objects in your test that represent the objects in your web site or application. Runtime objects are the objects in your application during the test run. The Test object properties set is created and maintained by QuickTest. The Runti me object property set is created and maintained by the object creator (Microsof t for Internet Explorer objects, Netscape for Netscape objects, the product deve loper for ActiveX objects, etc.). Similarly, Test object methods are methods that QuickTest recognizes and records when they are performed on an object while you are recording a test, and that Q uickTest performs when your test runs. Runtime object methods are the methods of the object in your application as defined by the object creator(the developer!) . You can access and perform runtime object methods using the Object property. If you want to keep track of further articles on QTP. I recommend you to subscri be via RSS Feed.
