What is creation time property and how does it work?..

Answer / siva reddy(us)

During recording, if QuickTest is unable to uniquely
identify a browser object based solely on its test object
description, it assigns a value to the CreationTime test
object property. This value indicates the order in which
the browser was opened relative to other open browsers with
an otherwise identical description.
During the run session, if QuickTest is unable to identify
a browser object based solely on its test object
description, it examines the order in which the browsers
were opened, and then uses the CreationTime property to
identify the correct one.

For example, if you record a test or component on three
otherwise identical browsers, opened at 9:01 pm, 9:03 pm,
and 9:05 pm, QuickTest assigns the CreationTime values 0 to
the 9:01 pm browser, 1 to the 9:03 pm browser, and 2 to the
9:05 pm browser.

At 10:30 pm, when you rerun your test or component, suppose
the browsers are opened at 10:31 pm, 10:33 pm, and 10:34
pm. QuickTest identifies the 10:31 pm browser with the
browser test object with CreationTime = 0, the 10:33 pm
browser with the test object with CreationTime = 1, and the
10:34 pm browser with the test object with CreationTime =
2.
