The difference between RO-Properties and TO-Properties
are that TO properties refer to the properties as they exist
in the Test Object saved in the test (i.e. in the object repository or as
described in descriptive programming) and the RO-Properties refer
to the RunTime object (i.e. the object as it appears in the Application Under
Test (AUT)).
From this distinction a few things arise
- Accessing
a TO property doesn't require the AUT to be open
- Accessing
an RO property requires the AUT to be open and the object
to be uniquely described
- You
can set the value of a TO property but not that of an RO property
In addition to the QTP specific properties some technologies
also support accessing the native object's properties via the .Object property
of the test object.
