Automation Object Model

Automation object model is nothing but collection of objects, methods and properties
which are used to perform quick test operations. Throughout this object model we can
perform any operation described in QTP interface. For every option in QTP
menus(Interface) have Objects, methods and properties are there in this model.
AOM is the concept to automate QTP itself.

Start

QTP, open an existing test and Run the Test:

Dim qtApp
Dim qtTest
'Create the QTP Application object
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
