Reusable Action :-- It is something like regression teting because whenever the applicaion comback to the tester after first or more test ,tester again go for the regression+retesting that is called as the Reusable action.

External Action:--It is somthing like the monkey testing just for getting to know the flow of the application.

Hi ,

Reuasble action and external action are part of QuickTestPro (QTP) and has got nothing to do with manual testing.

You can find meaning and difference in any of the basic QTP book

In QTP reusable action?an action that can be called multiple times by the testwith which it is stored (the local test) as well as by other tests.external action?a reusable action stored with another test. Externalactions are read-only in the calling test, but you can choose to use a local,editable copy of the Data Table information for the external action.

There are 3 types of actions available in QTP:-

1)Non-Reusable 2) Usable and 3) External actions.

Non-Reusable action can only be called once in your test. It can not be called in any other test.  Resuable action can be called multiple times in your test as well in other test  and when it is called in another test then it becomes external action.

External action will be a read only untill you saved it locally in your test.

Reusable action is nothing but the action that can be used in a test either it can be internal or external whereas external action is calling an action which is associated with another test.
