Paul Grossman: Secrets of Test Automation: Identify Objects on the Fly with the Magic Object Model
PAIN POINT: An architectural change switches 50 Link classes to WebButtons in the QTP Object Repository. To make matters worse, each object has multiple code references.

Within 90 minutes 97% of the test cases up and running.
