Dictionary Object in UFT or Testcomplete

A Dictionary object contains a set of key-item pairs

The dictionary object has the following benefits when compared with arrays:

·         The size of the Dictionary object can be set dynamically.

·         Dictionaries surpass arrays in locating items by their content.

·         Dictionaries work better than arrays when accessing random elements frequently.

·         The Dictionary object has built-in methods and properties that allow users to manage the dictionary’s contents and keys.

·         When deleting an item from a Dictionary, the remaining items are automatically shifted up.

The only disadvantage of dictionaries when compared to arrays, is that they cannot be multidimensional.
