What is descriptive programming?

Answer Posted / gopal

Without giving the object information into the object
repository
we can directly execute the test scripts by using DP.By
considering
following condition we will come to know how useful DP is.

1. When objects are dynamic in nature, they require special
handling
to identify the object, to handle this type of objects we
use
descriptive programming.The best example would be to click
on the
link which changes according to the user of the
application.
2. When Object Repository is getting huge in size, due to
adding No.of
objects into it, the performance of QTP will be decreased.
3. When you dont want to use the object repository at all,
then the
first question will be why not object repository.
considering some
scenarios we can understand the importance of DP.

Scenario 1. When we are having an application, which is not
yet been
developed, or in the state of run, QTP requires the
application to be
up to record the object properties to identify an object.
waiting for
the application to be up will be the waste of time, and if
we know the
flow of the application, then we can start writing DP.

Scenario 2. If we having an application, with 3 text
buttons each in
a page, adding all this 3 objects into the object
repository, in the
flow of 10 pages, a total 30 objects will be added into the
repository,
which is not a good practice, by writing 3 descriptions for
the objects
we can add them to the repository.

4. Modification for test script is required, but the
repository for the
same will be in the state of "readonly" or in "shared
mode", so modification
will impact other scripts as well.
5. When we are performing similar type of action on
objects,i.e, when
we are having an application with 20 text buttons, adding
all this
objects will not be a good practice.

How do you script a nested loop in QTP? I am showing a snipet of my code. Any suggestions to help me get this to work would be great appreciated! STEP A - Customer Number: No loop - ISBN: Loop STEP B - Customer Number: Loop - ISBN: Nested Loop Here is the code I am using now. I am using i for the loop and j for the nested loop in STEP B of my script. =========================================== 'CREATE AN ADDITIONAL CUSTOMER Dim myNum, RowNum, RowCnt2, val2, total, i DataTable.ImportSheet "C:\QOE Data - UAT1.xls" ,"Data" ,"Global" RowCnt2 = DataTable.GetRowCount i = 1 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) ' Set row to one Do while Not i > RowCnt2 i=i+1 DataTable.SetNextRow MsgBox Datatable.Value("Customer_Num") Msgbox i Msgbox RowCnt2 If Not i > RowCnt2 then val2=datatable.Value("Customer_Num","Global") OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").SelectMenu "File->New" OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Order Information").OracleTextField("Customer Number").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Order Information").OracleTextField("Customer Number").Enter val2 End If 'CREATE SECOND ISBN LIST DataTable.ImportSheet "C:\QOE Data - UAT1.xls" ,"Data" ,"Global" Dim j, RowCnt3, val3 RowCnt3 = DataTable.GetRowCount For j = 1 To RowCnt3 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) ' datatable.getSheet("DataTable").setNextRow If Trim(DataTable("ISBN",dtGlobalSheet)) = "" Then j = j - 1 Exit For End If Next 'Define ISBN rows If RowCnt3 <> j Then RowCnt3 = j End If 'Loop through ISBN rows For j = 1 To RowCnt3 DataTable.SetCurrentRow(i) val3 = Datatable.Value("ISBN","Global") msgbox j If j = 1 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item").Enter val3 else If j < 16 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_"&i).SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_"&i).Enter val3 else If RowCnt1 => 16 Then OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").InvokeSoftkey "DOWN" OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").SetFocus OracleFormWindow("Sales Order").OracleTabbedRegion("Line Items").OracleTextField("Ordered Item_15").Enter val3 end if end if End If Next 'EXIT APP msgbox i loop Browser("Browser").Page("Oracle Applications 11i").Sync Browser("Browser").Close ========================================== It isn't working correctly in my nested loop in STEP B (for ISBN). Any ideas?? Thanks! SBsteve
