    Define "descriptive programming".

     

    If you mean the concept used in HP QTP/UFT, that is, identifying objects without using the Object Repository - yes TestComplete supports this too. You do this by using the object names seen in the Object Browser and/or the Find* methods.

     

    For example:

    Sys.Process("explorer").Window("Button", "Start").Click();

    is a "descriptive programming" version of

    Aliases.explorer.btnStart.Click();
