Adding Objects Using Different Modes

In Qualitia you can use multiple modes to add objects from the application under test into Qualitia's object repository.

Right-Click Mode

You can right-click the object which you want to add from the application under test and select Add Objects from the context-menu options.

To add object using the right-click mode:

From the Objects screen, click Spy.
The Object Spy window appears.
Navigate to the page from where you want to add objects.
Ensure that Select Object option is disabled.
Point to an object that needs to be added.
The object is highlighted with a blue border.
Right-click the object and select Add Object from the context-menu.
A confirmation message appears after the object is added.
An object is added to the repository using the precedence set in Locator Priority Settings.

While pointing to an object ensure you have pointed to an object with its appropriate Object Class.
Objects that are added manually with CSS/DOM Locator Type values cannot be highlighted.
When adding new object in the repository, if object already exists, Qualitia notifies displaying the object name that is used while adding this object into the repository.

Left-Click Mode

Many a times, due to some security measurements, Web applications do not allow right-clicking UI elements. You can use the left-click mode to add objects from such applications.
