Set up the resources before the test is created. One of the most important resources for any test is object repository, which stores the test objects (and other object types) used in your test. QuickTest can store the test objects it learns in two types of object repository files: shared and local.

A shared object repository contains test objects that can be used across multiple actions.

A local object repository stores test objects that can only be used in one specific action and not in any other action.
