Smart Identification is used to locate objects that may have changed.When the recorded definition for an object does not enable QuickTest to identify an option, QuickTest uses the Smart Identification definition (if defined and enabled) to identify the object.

If QuickTest is unable to find any object that matches the recorded object description,then QuickTest ignores the recorded description, and uses the Smart Identification mechanism to try to identify the object.A Smart Identification definition can probably help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when the recorded description fails.The mechanism is more complex, and it is more flexible.

Hence Smart Identification is nothing but, if any property of test object is not matching with run time object property, it will write an warning to result and execute rest of the steps.
