21. Object Repository:

This Object Repository is also called as Local Repository. Because we can use the captured objects only for the particular test. We unable to share the captured objects to any other test.

When you create an action in a test, Quick test creates a new local object repository that store objects used in the action. This local object repository is the default type of object repository.

A local object repository stores objects associated with a specific action, so that only that action can access the stored objects.

When you record a test, Quick test automatically saves the information about the objects that you record in the local object repository. Quick test creates separate local object repositories for each new action.
