Example:-

In case we want to automate web application (Say facebook), and we have not added “web” addin into UFT, What will happen? ……very simple UFT will take any object of facebook page as standard objects (Window, winobject) and thus automation will fail. So for this to work we need to add “web” addin to UFT.Still don’t get, please try to automate facebook login, without adding “Web” addin in UFT.

Why Addin Manager?

We use this feature to tell UFT in advance, that what all type of technologies (Applications) we will be using UFT to automate. So if our AUT is developed using .net platform, we will use .net addin for UFT to recognize AUT objects and automation can happen.
