Prior to automating your manual test cases, add objects to your object repository to include:
Parent objects: These are objects whose class is a page.
Child objects: These are objects present under a page class and used in your test cases. A child object can also have its own set of child objects.
If you are working with a desktop application, you will need to refer to the guide on Working with Qualitia for Desktop Applications
View Objects
Login to QAS - Client.
Access Develop from left navigation to view Test Explorer screen.
Click Objects icon from extreme right of the toolkit.
You can view Object Repository, where all Objects of a Project are listed in alphabetical order.
Click the Expand button before each Parent Object to view its Child Objects.
If you are landing on this page for the first time, you will be seeing a bank Object Repository with a Create Object button.
If you have several objects, use the Search function to quickly search for the desired objects.
Light Bulb object next to an object indicates that the Object is a Smart Object.
Add a Web, Mobile, or an SFDC Object
Image objects do not support manual creation, and Time Out and Polling Interval options do not work for SFDC objects. Also, you can only create an SFDC object in a Salesforce project.
