What is the Difference between Standard, Maintenance and Update Run mode

[kai07]

Hi,
I'm learning QTP and I would really appreciate some help in understanding what these three run modes are? Why are they used? and which scenario do u commonly use in real-time? I would be grateful if someone could throw some light on it

Hi,

Maintenance Run Mode
--------------------------
1-If object has changed and QTP can recognise it using SIM, it offers to update or keep the original object with displaying the changed properties.

2-If QTP fails to recognise it asks the user to point to the object and then update either all properties/single property/add as new object or keep original properties

3-Changed checkpoint values are not updated and fails in case of mismatch

4-User is allowed to decide the change after QTP faces a change during run session .

Update run Mode
----------------
1-If object has changed and QTP can recognise using SIM, it directly updates the object without showing it to user

2-If QTP fails to recognise it, it throws an error

3-Changed checkpoints values are updated and Pass/Fail message is not shown in either case

4-User can decide before run which objects (test object, checkpoints output values and active screen) should be updated once a mismatch occurs .

Thanks
