A QuickTest Professional object is a graphic user element in the aut (Application Under Test).QuickTest Objects are categorized into Classes, such as Button, Edit, and Combo Box.

QuickTest does not define any object information; it uses the same information that application developers defined.

QuickTest Object Recognition: You distinguish one object from the other of the same class by the differences in the
object characteristics. For example, Below figure shows the UPDATE ORDER and DELETE ORDER buttons in the FLIGHT RESERVATION window. The UPDATE ORDER and DELETE ORDER objects belong to the WINBUTTON class. However, the characteristics of the two objects differ.

The characteristics of an object within QuickTest are called object properties.
