Answer / pradyumna

In descriptive progmmaning the objeect's information should
be avialable,
desc. prog takes less tim to execute bcz the object's
information is avialable in the script,but it is very
difficult to mentain(update).but through object repository
we can easily write the script bcz the object's info is
avaialable in that OR.

i think this is the answer

Answer / vistaraj

Following are the reasons for using Descriptive Programming

1. Faster(High Performance): Execution of Decriptive
Programming is faster compaired the scripts whose object
properties are stored in Object Repository.

For OR: As, it takes time to load the OR first and then
identifying the object with all Mandatory Properties,
Assistive Properties and Ordinal Identifier(Index or
Location)

2. Donot Depend up on the Completion of the Feature:

From Development Team or from the Design Document, If we
know the object name and their properties then we can
start writing Automated Scripts using Descripting Program
irrespective of the Completeness of the Application.

No Need Wait till Application is developed and delivered
from Developer.

Answer / nanda

and also..

writing the script will take more time when writing in
DP. maintance of the script will be difficult.
if some of the object properties are changing from
build to build u have to update same in script also. but if
u are using Object Repository u can update those property
values in Object Repository. its one time change.or u can
handle this in object repository with reguler expression.

like this we can say many examples.
