Descriptive Programming

Entering / Providing objects information directly into the test script is called Descriptive Programming.

In this method of script creation, we no need to have Object Repositories.

Advantages:

a) Descriptive Programming based Test scripts are faster in execution than Repository based Test scripts.

b) Scripts are portable (we can run these scripts from any machine easily)

c) Maintenance is easy (less amount of resources)

d) We can start Test Execution process even though Application is not ready.

Descriptive programming is basically 2 types.

  1. Static Programming
  2. Dynamic Programming
