Repository?

I agreed with the answer#4 but with some little
clarification
When your application is also not ready at that time we
will go for DP.

In some scenarios, QTP will not able to recognize the
objects in the appliation based on the description proivded
in the objects repository. Say, mutilple objects in the OR
has the same description and in these scenario QTP has the
abiguity of doing the operation on the object and throws an
error. To avoid this, we go fot the DP.

Adding to my above answer, here is another scenario where
we can go for DP...say i have four webpages in my app's,
and in each web page, say, i have OK and CANCEL buttons.
Instead of adding this objects to OR at every page, i will
create DP for this objects and use it where ever i need to
do operation on it..........This way i can reduce the size
of OR which inturn leverage's the performance of the QTP

Answer / ram.polavarapu
well for small application we can go for object repository
and we can add the all objects if the application is big
then we can not add the all the objects in to the object
repository that time we can use the discriptive scipting
by using object repository the process is going to be
slow when we compare with descriptive programming
with out open the application also we can write the
descriptive programming.

Answer / chivukula.kumar
Descriptive Programming is a separate concept in QTP.
we can handle the Application by implementing the DP
instead of OR.
Advantages of DP:
1 DP Script is reusable Script
2 we can modify the script easly compare to QTP Code.
3 we can write script without application in hands based on
the properites of objects.
4 DP is flexable for high performance of application
compare to OR
5 DP script is very flexible for meet the object
implementation problem in application.

Answer / sd
Descriptive programming used - scenario
where the object identification properties used for
identifying a object are dynamic in nature and changes. To
handle this situation you can write a Dp script to get a
work around.EX --- GetROPropery
DP helps user to get around problem by adding vbscript code
and use programatic way to get a work around.

Answer / sangeetha
1.For Dynamic objects ( properties during run time will
change ) ,we will go for Descriptive programming)
for example:
i=0
Browser().Page().Webedit("index:="&i).set
Next
2.When the application is not yet developed completely

of OR?
