what is descriptive programming in QTP? How can be done?..

Answer / john

There are two ways, QTP uses to recognize the objects
present in your application.

1. Object Repository (OR)
2. Descriptive Programming (DP)

First let see how OR works. OR is the simple and default way
of object identification in QTP. OR stores groups of
properties and values of every object. While you record on
application, all the objects you click, are stored in Object
Repository.

During the play back QTP use this OR to identify the object
on which the action is to be performed.

What is Descriptive programming (DP)?

We'll use DP when we want to bypass OR. Descriptive
programming is used when we want to perform an operation on
an object that is not stored in the object repository. This
way QTP won’t search....

Answer / automation tester

Hi Friends,

In simple terms, Descriptive Programming is the type of
programming in QTP where you don't want to use Object
Repository to store the objects and its properties.
Descriptive Programming provides a means by which you can
provide the object properties in the code itself.

Answer / vikas choubey

It doesn’t require recording the page and so no need
worry about object repository.
You can optimize your code.
Before starting descriptive programming you need to know
about object properties and their values, using object spy
you can see each object’s properties.

DP can be written in two ways..

1. Static (by provide the set of properties and values directly)
2. Dynamic (by creating description object)

Answer / babu

Hi,

I had gone through the answers provided all of you. I had
written the script by passing the property, value of the
objects using descriptive programming as it mentioned above.
Process what i followed is:
1)recorded the script.
2)take some object and remove the same from object
repository and add property,value of that removed object in
the script.
3)run the script.

It is displaying the message that object can't be find in
the object repository.

ex:Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Name:=Agent Name:","attached
text=Agent Name:").Set "xxxx".

I removed Agentname from the object repository.
While running i am getting the error that the object Agent
name is not able to find in object repository.

Help me out what mistake i made when writing descriptive
programming.

what is descriptive programming in QTP? How can be done?..

Answer / mic

QTP knows X only, // X is QTP's VB language

ie,
QTP language = X
X = VB (QTP oriented) // QTP understands VB

.'.
X = VB

OR = converted.VB(Objects) // OR = Object Repository
X = OR

// QTP converts Objects to its unique understable format as
VB oriented and stores in Object Repository. If the code is
in VB no proble to QTP to read while running, ne need to
convert again to another format.

X = VB

VB = DP // DP = Descriptive Programming
X = VB = DP = QTP language

what is descriptive programming in QTP? How can be done?..

Answer / pradeep

It works perfectly....

'USING DESCRIPTIVE PROGRAMMING - WITHOUT OBJECT REPOSTARY

Browser("creationtime:=4").Page("title:=Editorial Company
Search").Link("text:=Codes").Click

'OR

Browser("name:=Editorial Company Search").Page
("title:=Editorial Company Search").Link
("text:=Codes").Click

For descriptive programming the object properties should be
extracted first using the QTP object repository and then
use it in the code.

Ex., name:= or creationtime:= or title:=

Depends on the objects and its available properties
