In conclusion, your choice between Image Objects and Mouse Hover depends on the specifics of the application you're testing. For comprehensive testing, you would ideally want to use a mix of both, depending on the context, to ensure all aspects of the application are thoroughly tested.

A vital note about Qualitia Smart Locator:

Smart Locator has the capacity to automatically identify dynamic objects during the execution of a test case. If this option is enabled, you won't be able to edit object details such as the locator value and locator type.

If you choose to disable this option, the object will no longer be identified by Smart Locator. If you wish to re-enable this option for this object at a later stage, you'll need to either learn this object anew using Qualitia Object Spy or specify a valid XPath for the object. The object will be re-enabled for Smart Locator identification only after its first execution.

You have the capability to include an object from a web application currently under test with just a single click. You can then choose the type of locator that best suits your needs. Qualitia additionally offers you the flexibility to include objects in the form of an image object.

Below is the standard sequence for incorporating objects for a typical web Web application:

1. Link

2. Name

3. ID

4. XPath

5. CSS

For SFDC (Salesforce) applications, the standard sequence differs slightly and is as follows:

...

1. You've installed Object Spy on your browser of preference

2. Your computer has connectivity to the Qualitia Server.

3. In the scenario of adding objects from a Salesforce application, it's crucial to ensure you've selected a Salesforce project. Salesforce applications are best viewed / added via the Chrome Object Spy as Salesforce applications are not fully supported on Edge.

8. After incorporating all the necessary objects, click Save to Repository.

9. Your objects will be stored in the repository, as shown in the relevant screenshot.

10. It is suggested that you use the Web Object Spy in either left dock mode or right dock mode. However, if you prefer using it in a different dock mode, you can simply click the Hover/Image button to commence usage.

Additionally, you have the ability to separate the Object Spy UI from the application under test page, and also include the objects of child windows, as explained in the previous step. It's important to note though, if you're including objects for multiple application pages in detached mode, the Web Object Spy will incorporate the objects of all the pages into the same object repository.
