I did some search, understanding, and writing this post to share with you all. If I am not correct, PLEASE correct me. Traditional Test Automation: First, we have to recall the test automation tool QTP or UFT (Initially developed by Mercury Interactive Corporation(MIC) after WinRunner, then sold to HP, and again MicroFocus acquired from HP now).

At that time, you can use your direct DOM methods and directly execute your script on the web page from QTP like, Dim MyPage ,  SearchBox Set MyPage  =  Browser ( "title:=Google" ) . Page ( "title:=Google" )    Set SearchBox  =  MyPage . RunScript ( "document.getElementsByName('q')(0);" ) SearchBox . Value = "testing" 'if objects available in frames, Set SearchBox  =  MyPage . RunScript ( "document.frames(4).document.getElementsByName('q')(0);" ) 'OR Set objFrame =  Browser ( "title:=Google" ) . Page ( "title:=Google" ). Frame( "title:=something" ) objFrame . RunScript ( "document.getElementsByName('q')(0);" ) Also, you can execute by obtaining actual brow...
