You can define Test Objects in your Object Repository that do not yet exist in your Application. You can prepare an Object Repository and build components for your application before the application is ready for testing.

For example, you know that you soon have a new field in your application, a WINEDIT for the passenger’s last name. You can define the WINEDIT object for the last name field before it is developed.
