In Qualitia, Objects are the controls of the application under test. Objects are displayed with their attributes like object name and class. To describe a test object, you have to provide a set of property names and their property values. The test object description helps to identify the objects in Application under Test (AUT).

Important information on property values
Regular expressions can be used in the Property Value field. Qualitia supports the regular expression syntax defined by the underlying tool. For example, suppose there is a Browser with the title Qualitia. A user can give the title property in the form of regular expression as Qua.*
A key name can be used in the Property Value field where the key name should be enclosed in braces. During execution, the value from the key will be retrieved and substituted for the corresponding property. For example, suppose you have set up to store the value Qualitia under the key PropKey and then you want to work on a Browser with the title Qualitia. In this case, on the Object Management screen, you can use the Property Value for the Browser's title as {PropKey}. This is mainly to help you identify an object which has a run-time property value.
Note To use value from the key, you must pass the key name inside braces. For example, if the key name is QKey, to use value from the key, you must enclose the key name inside braces like, {QKey}.
The scope of key will remain only across the tasks within a test case.
You can concatenate key with a static string or a static string with key. A key with a key combination can also be passed in the Property Value field. For example, if you have set up to store two keys, Prop1Key and Prop2Key with values "Qua" and "litia" in them respectively. In this case, the following combinations in the property value field will yield output as shown below:
Property Value field | Actual value during Execution |
|---|---|
{Prop1Key}{Prop2Key} | Qualitia |
Qua{Prop2Key} | Qualitia |
{Prop1Key}litia | Qualitia |
Qualitia | Qualitia |
If the following characters are found in the property value of an object, they are preceded by '/' (forward slash) because these characters are used as identifiers in Qualitia.
Character | Description |
|---|---|
{ | Key name identifiers |
} | Key name identifiers |
/ | Escape character in Qualitia |
^ | Array data separator |
Locator Types for Web Objects
The following locator types are used to add a web object.
Link
Name
ID
XPath
CSS
Locator Types for Mobile Objects
The following locator types are used to add a mobile object.
UiAutomator
ID
Accessibility ID
Class
XPath
You can add web and mobile objects for a project in the following ways:
Using Qualitia Automation Recorder , the objects are automatically added.
Rules for Duplicate Objects
You can add an existing object under a different page, but it renames the object automatically.
When you add an object with same name and same locator values manually , either Qualitia does not allow or might rename the object automatically depending on time span.
You cannot add the same object with the same name and same locator values under the same page.

To add objects for a desktop application, refer to Working with Qualitia for Desktop Applications. |
Adding an Object
The first step in the automation of manual test cases is adding objects to the object repository.
An object repository contains:
Parent: An object whose class is a page.
Child: An object present under a page class, which is used in test cases. A child object can also have a set of child objects.

To add objects for a desktop application, refer to (8.3.X) Work with Desktop Applications. |
Adding a Web or an SFDC Object
Perform the following steps to add a web object or an SFDC object for an application under test.
| Info |
|---|
|
To add a web or an SFDC object:
From the Expand Menu, click Develop.
Click the Objects tab.
Do one of the following:
To create a parent object, click Create Object.
To create a child object, from the left pane, point to the parent object under which you want to add, click the Create New Object button (
) as shown in the following figure:
...
Enter Object Name and Description.
Select Class from the drop-down list.
Select Locator Type and enter its associated Locator Value.
To use the SmartLocator feature during the execution, select the SmartLocator checkbox.
(Optional) Enter Time Out in seconds.
(Optional) Enter Polling Interval in milliseconds.
| Note |
|---|
If you specify Time Out and Polling Interval, Qualitia uses the Explicit Wait mode during the execution by overriding these values specified in the associated execution profile. |
(Optional) To continue adding another object, select the Create Another checkbox.
Click Save.
Adding a Mobile Native Object
Perform the following steps to add a mobile-native object only for mobile application under test.
To add Mobile Native Objects:
From the Expand Menu, click Develop.
Click the Objects tab.
Do one of the following:
To create a parent object, click Create Object.
To create a child object, from the left page, point to the parent object under which you want to add, click the Create New Object button (
)
From the Technology drop-down list, select Mobile.
Enter Object Name and Description.
Select Class from the drop-down list.
Select Locator Type and enter its associated Locator Value.
In the Search Class field, enter the class details displayed in the Appium Inspector or UIAutomatorViewer and then click the Search icon.
This will automatically select the Qualitia Class of the object.Do one of the following:
To add an Android application object, select Android Locator Type and enter its associated Android Locator Value
To add an iOS application object, select iOS Locator Type and enter its associated iOS Locator Value.
(Optional) To continue adding another object, select the Create Another checkbox.
Click Save.
Editing an Object
You need to edit an object when its name or properties change. Also, you can place an object under another parent object or make it independent.
To edit an object:
From
thethe Expand Menu,
clickclick Develop.
Click
thethe Objects
tabtab.
Do one of the following:
To edit a parent object,
clickclick Create Object.
To edit a child object, from the left page, select the parent object under which you want to add, click the Edit Object button (
).
Edit the required fields. You can also add or remove object properties by clicking the Add or Remove buttons respectively. The Edit Object screen resizes up to the full screen.
Click Save.
The object is saved with the revised fields or properties.
