SAP Testing - TAO UI Scanner

UI scanner is used to create new screen components with existing components. It is a plugin for QTP tool. You should try to use inspect tab over UI scanner. The standard UI scanner works only with GUI front-end client. You can also use third-party UI scanner for capturing the screen components.

If you have to use UI scanner, you need to activate it in the Inspection tab of SAP TAO tool. UI scanner is used to get the information from one screen in one go and transfer these screen objects to QC as a screen component.
