Automation is a concept with Microsoft technologies, of accessing and manipulating different objects in one application from another using the objects class, properties, methods and events. Generally VBScript, JScript, C++ etc are languages that can achieve this manipulation.

The general idea behind the QTP Automation Model is that all interfaces, dialogue boxes and other functionality within QTP can be represented in terms of classes and properties. They can hence be accesed by anpther application making use of one of the above mentioned languages.

Thus opening of QTP, loading add-ins, running batch scripts or other similar routine and repeatable tasks can be actually done by writing a script that "automates" these operations, making use of the QTP Object Model.

This is QTP AOM.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
