Two shared object repositories can be merged in ---------
-
The object repository manager
-
The object repository
-
Associate object repository tool
-
Only Local object repositories can be merged
In QTP, the Object Repository Manager is the dedicated tool for merging shared object repositories. It provides a comparison view and conflict resolution for combining two repositories. You cannot merge repositories from within the Object Repository window itself during test editing, nor is merging limited to only local repositories (shared repositories can be merged too).
In QTP/UFT (QuickTest Professional), shared object repositories are managed and merged through the Object Repository Manager (accessed via Tools > Object Repository Manager > Tools > Merge Shared Object Repositories, or the Associate Repositories wizard within that same tool). The manager provides the merge wizard that resolves conflicting object names/properties between the two repositories. 'The object repository' (option 2) is just the container/file itself, not a merging mechanism. 'Associate object repository tool' is a related but separate function (linking a repository to an action), not the merge feature. The last option is wrong because merging isn't restricted to local repositories only — shared repositories are exactly what get merged this way, typically to consolidate object definitions across test scripts.
