Updating a Component Using the Update Run Mode Option

When you run a component in Update Run mode, QuickTest runs the component to update the test object descriptions and/or the expected checkpoint values. After you save the component, the updated data is used for subsequent runs.

Note: When QuickTest updates components, it always saves the updated objects in the local object repository, even if the objects being updated were originally from a shared object repository. The next time you run the component, QuickTest uses the objects from the local object repository, as the local object repository has a higher priority than any shared object repositories.

Tip: After using Update Run Mode to update the component, you may want to use the Update from Local Repository option in the Object Repository Manager to merge the objects from the local repository back to a shared object repository. For more information, see Managing Object Repositories.
