Summary
Reference
For Insight feature UFT recognizes objects based on their appearance, and not their native properties.
This can be useful to test controls from an environment that UFT does not support or even from a remote computer running a non-Windows operating system.
Steps with Insight objects may take longer than usual to run, especially if there are many similar objects with the same parent.
Insight test objects require more disk space than other test objects, because of the test object images and the snapshots stored with the test objects.
Smart identification is not relevant for Insight test objects.
Steps with Insight objects may take longer than usual to run, especially if there are many similar objects with the same parent.
Active session and application
The computer session must be active, and the application visible (and not minimized). for the steps to run successfully. This is because Insight uses data from the screen to compare to the images stored with your test.
Remote connection
If you are testing an application running on a remote computer, and you use a minimized Remote Desktop Connection window, these steps will fail.
Workaround: Use a different program (for example, Virtual Network Computing) instead of Remote Desktop Connection to run steps on a remote computer.
Display size / zoom levels
For Insight object identification to succeed, the display size defined in the operating system and the browser zoom levels (if working on a browser) must be the same when the test runs as they were when the objects were learned or recorded.
Dual monitors
Insight is supported only on the primary monitor. Therefore, if you are working with dual monitors, make sure that your application is visible on the primary monitor when you use UFT for Insight test objects.
