Advanced QTP Interview Questions and Answers For
Experienced Guys
Well on this page you will find all the advanced QTP interview Questions and their answers.

Here is the list of top 50/100 Advanceed QTP interview Questions for experienced professionals.

Q1. When Should we use Descriptive Programming
in QTP?
Answer - As you must be knowing, QTP identifies objects using either Object Repository or
Description Programming. So you might wonder that in which Scenrios we should use Description
Programming.
here is the list of scenarios where descriptive programming is better than Object Repository.
Same object exists in different windows/screens of your application. If you use OR in this
case, you will have to store the same object under different object hierarchy in OR. So to handle this
situation we can access this object using description programming. This will help us remove duplicate
objects.
In certain situations, It is not feasible to store the objects inside OR. For example - If you want
to print all the links (say 100 links) on the webpage, You should not store all links in OR. But you
should use Description programming to access those links.

Q2. What is settoproerty and when to use it in QTP?
Answer - Settoproperty stands for set test object property. At run time you can edit the property
values of the object. When execution ends the value of the property is not saved in OR.So changes
you make to OR using settoproperty are temporary.
You need to use this method when object values change at runtime. Thus by changing the value of
the property at run time you can identify the object.
