Smart identification is a mechanism in QTP to identify objects smartly, whenever object identification fails due to changes in the Object properties.It's an algorithm to uniquely identify the objects dynamically.It identifies a particular object by comparing the properties of its test object and the run time object.

The Smart Identification dialog box enables you to create and modify the Smart Identification definition that QuickTest Professional uses for a selected test object class. When the recorded definition for an object does not enable QTP to identify an option, QuickTest Professional uses the smart identification definition (if defined and enabled) to identify the object.
