Using Object Repository is a advantage or disadvantage?

Answer / srini
As far i think both of them have their advantages and
disadvantages.
OR is simple and easy to identify the objects. but it
consumes too much of memory when it is loaded and it will
increase the execution time. And if you have multiple
object of similiar kind of object properties at times it
will fail to recoginzed and the script will fail.
But DP reduces the execution time. Script will not fail in
this b'coz ur just changing the required property of the
object, yes it true that initial work more that creating
object properties list in an excel sheet and load that
excel sheet during runtime. but this can be overridden buy
using XML file which is less in size and Quick in loading.
and it takes very less memory.
let me know if you have any comments on this.

Answer / ilayaraja
using object reposotory has more advantage. It has few
disadvantages also , it's based on scenario on which we are
going to automate.In our application , we are having same
kind of objects in different pages, during that time we can
use descriptive protgramming instead of having the same
object repetively in all the pages it ll consume more
space.bbut it's preferable to use OR in qtp.

Answer / ravi s
Use of OR is more efficient.since Descriptive programming
or reading property values from Excel sheet and create a
object will take more time.This you won't able observe when
you do it for 1 or 2 object. Do it for one complete
scenerio and you will able to figure out the time taken for
creating objects.
So Use Descriptive programming for very very less objects
in your complete application where it is not working with
OR.
You can observe how much time it will take while reading
values from excel and creating objects if you automate some
30 testcases.
OR is best feature provided by QTP .Use descriptive where
operations not performed some objects. you will find some
dialog boxs or messageboxes.so there use descriptive
programming.
