You can set the recognition property for screens, fields and characters to increase the
flexibility of your script when defining a screen. Each object has a set of recognition
properties, which are typically established during recording. To find an object in the
application-under-test during playback, IBM® DevOps Test UI (Test UI) compares the object in the application
with recognition properties in the test object map. Each property of a test object has an
associated recognition weight value, which is a number from 0 to 100. Test UI uses the weight value for each
recognition property to determine the importance of the property.
Table 1 describes the default recognition properties and
weights for windows.
