Hi,

Object Repository contains the properties and values  of the GUI  objects which are specific to the application you open or record using WR. But Object spy contains the properties and values of any GUI object on your desktop.You use the Spy pointer to point to an object, and the GUI Spy displays the properties and their values in the GUI Spy dialog box. You can choose to view all the properties of an object, or only the selected set of properties that WinRunner learns. Please correct me if am missing anything.

In Object repository all the objects with their properties which are recognised or learned will be there.

We use object spy to recognise the objects in runtime.

Object Repository : It is used to store the learned Object properties, which is mandatory to identify the objects during playback. Object Spy : It is used to know the available properties for an object. This is not required during playback

Object repository is not a winrunner technical term. Instead of this, they use GUI map.

GUI map is a file, which used to store the information about objects and windows
