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 Working with Qualitia for 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.

  • Time Out and Polling Interval do not work for SFDC objects.
  • You can add an SFDC object using one of the following locator types:
    • SFDC:Label
    • XPath
  • The Salesforce project also allows you to add web and mobile objects for the associated web and mobile application objects.
