Descdriptive Programming

Descriptive programming in QTP refers to identifying and interacting with objects in a test script without using the object repository. This is done by directly specifying the object's properties and values in the test statement. There are two main ways to perform descriptive programming - 1) listing the identifying properties and values directly in the test statement, or 2) creating a description object and adding the properties/values to it before passing it to the test statement. Descriptive programming allows tests to be written even for objects that are not present in the object repository, such as dynamically created objects.

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

Re: what is descriptive programming in QTP? How can be done?


Answer It is something like instructing the QTP to 4 Ravi
perform
#5
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 : Programming is done without using the object
repository
#6
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
&#61692; Specify the list of properties
and values, which
describe the object directly in the statement.
&#61692; Use a description object which
has a method cold
create
Note: - When the objects that create dynamically.
