Answer / mallikharjun bhavanam
descriptive programming in QTP means when there is no
object in object repository for that object wehave to write
decriptive programming to add the properties of the object
which is not there in the oblect repository.
you can describe an objectdirectly in a test statementby
specifying property:= value pairs describing the object
insted of specifying an object's logical name.
syntax
testobject
("propertyname1 :=propertyvalue1","...","propertynamex :=pro
pertyvaluex").

Answer / vijendra
Writing the scripting even though the objects are not
existing in the object repository(Those may be at
development level) it occurs based on the prototypes.
For script creation we use description.create
ex: set mywindow=description.create
mywindow("text").value=login

Answer / ravi
It is something like instructing the QTP to perform
operations on objects without refering to the Object
Repository. To do this we provide QTP with a list of
properties and Values that QTP can use to identify the
Object on which we want to perform the operations.
There are basically 2 ways
1. We can list the set of properties and Values that
describe the object directly in the statement
Propertyname:=Property Value, --------, PropertynameN
N:=PropertynameN
2. Using Descriptive Object:
Here we do create a Descrition Object and add the property
name and it's Valuse to the Description Object. We pass
this description object to the QTP statement.
Set < Var name > = DESCRIPTION. CREATE
< Desc OBJ / Var Name >.
(<"Propertyname1">.value=<propertyvalue1>
- If we want to add more more properties we have the follow
the above
---
---
---
< Desc OBJ / Var Name >.
(<"PropertynameN">.value=<propertyvalueN>

Answer / amit puhan
: Programming is done without using the object repository
is called descriptive programming. To do this we provide
QTP the list of properties & values, that qtp can use to
identify the object on which we want to perform the
operation. There 2 methods on
Which we go for descriptive programming
 Specify the list of properties and values, which
describe the object directly in the statement.
 Use a description object which has a method cold
create
Note: - When the objects that create dynamically. Console
based application, lesson of object in the application.

Answer / neelakantan
Basically by having object repository it has both
advantages as well disadvantages. We all know about
advantages.. As far as disadvantage is concern Supoose if u
have unstable application ie Properties might change or
Name of the Object might change..Frequent changes is
happening in ur application..We will go for descriptive
programming.. Pbjects id will be unique for all
applicaions.. So by having unique id we can write the code
like
("windowid:=2342143")

Answer / pavan
Descriptive Programming is the way of instructing QTP to
identify the objects without object repository.
It can be done as follows:
Example 1: Browser("title:= < title of the browser> ").Page
("title:= < title of the page> ").frame("name:= <name of
the frame>")....
Example 2: vbwindow("title: <title>").vbedit("attached
text:=username").set "name"
etc....

Answer / vinayak
If suppose properties of any objects are dynamically
changing and you dont want them to use through obcect
repository at that time only you are in need of Descriptive
programming.
Even if object is not prssent in to objectvrepository that
time too you can use them, you just need to hardcode them
in your script.You need to give their property and value in
svcript itself.

Answer / vishakhab
Similar way,
for web programming:
suppose you are testing: Google Sign up page.
"https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?"
To recognize the Text box: "Your current email address:"
The follow statement:
Browser("Google Accounts").Page("Google Accounts").WebEdit
("name:=Email","id:=Email").Set "vishakhavijay23@yahoo.com"
won't work without defining the object in the repository.
You need to modify the above statement as:
set emlTxt=Browser("Google Accounts").Page("Google
Accounts").WebEdit("name:=Email")
emlTxt.Set "vishakha@yahoo.com"
