This tutorial demonstrates SMART Identification process in QTP.For the first time, the tutorial makes use of a Web Environment.

points to remember
If the usual object identification process fails , QTP triggers Smart Identification , which is more flexible mechanism for identifying objects provided it is enabled in Object Identification settings.
Smart Identification uses two categories of properties 1) Base Filter Properties & 2) Optional Filter Properties
Base Filter Properties. It contains the most fundamental properties of a particular test object class; those whose values cannot be changed without changing the essence of the original object
Optional Filter Properties. Other properties that can help identify objects
Quick Test "forgets" the learned test object description and creates a new object candidate list containing the objects that match all of the properties defined in the Base Filter Properties list.
QTP the Uses Base Filter Property to reduce the Object Candidate list
The idea is to narrow down only one object matching the some or all of the saved description properties
If smart identification is invoked during a test run ,in the test results tree a warning message is generated indicating smart identification was invoked and a smart identification step is inserted.
