QTP 9.0 - 9.1 - 9.

2
QTP 9.0
There are two major Gaps in 8.2 version viz…
1. For creating a shared repository, we need to open a new test every time.
2. There must be connection between Test and shared repository.
Therefore, One test for One shared repository. * One test -> One shared repository.

Where as in 9.0, we can avoid above two gaps and create one or more shared repositories and one local
repository for a Test. No need of connection for test and shared repositories.
* One test -> more shared repositories + one local repository.
*That is the main / major change in 9.0 from 8.2

Understanding of the above Major change :

OR1
Action 1
……. OR2
I.
Action 2
……….

Action 3
……….. OR3
OR4
Test for creating shared repository
OR1 … OR4 : four different
applications Objects Repositories information.

Test
Action 1 +
II. ………….
……….... Local
………… Repository

As shown in section-I, We can create number of Object Repositories independently for each action.
Say Action 1 is having OR1 (say Calculator Application )and OR3 (say Login Application ) shared repositories
Similarly Action 2 is having OR2(say flight Application ) and OR4 (say mindQcal Application )shared
repositories And Action 3 is having OR1 and OR2 shared repositories

In section –II, we can make use of those shared repositories as per requirement PLUS one local repository
which is created for this test.

Final word : in QTP 9.0 one can associate one or more shared repositories to an Action a part from its local
repository.
