A:
Creating a test without using the object repository is known as descriptive programming since you describe the objects as part of the script.
e.g.
Browser("title:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Link("text:=Advanced Search").Click
Note the := in the test objects' names, this is not a smiley it means that the property title has value Google (as a regular expression).
You can also use the Description object via Description.Create.
You can see more details here.

Let's add that it descriptive programming is useful whenever you want to address an object whose identification attributes' values vary, and which cannot be described efficiently using a regular expression. And: Since QTP began to support parametrized identification properties (i.e. the attribute value is not a literal, but a parameter placeholder replaced by the parameter's value at run-time) (in 9? or 10?), you do not have to depend on descriptive programming as often as earlier when this feature didn' exist.
