Object Repository

   'Object Repository' is a storage place where one can store the object information and it also acts an interface between the 'test script' & 'The AUT (Application Under Test)' in order to  identify the objects during execution.

QTP has 2 types of Object Repositories.They are:
1)Local Object Repositories.
2)Shared Object Repositories.

     Test objects can be stored in two types of object repositories—a 'shared object repository ' and a ' local object repository'.
          A 'shared object repository' stores test objects in a file that can be accessed by multiple components (via their application areas) in read-only mode and it is in the format of '.tsr'(test shared repository).
         A 'local object repository' stores objects in a file that is associated with one specific component, so that only that component can access the stored objects.
