Working with Application Areas
Application areas provide all of the resources and settings needed to create a business component. Application area settings and any changes you make to these settings are automatically applied to any business component with which the application area is associated.
Note: In earlier QuickTest Professional versions, the application area was known as a business component template. At that time, all business components used the same template. Now, QuickTest enables you to create multiple application areas that can be customized to suit the requirements of each area of your application.
