Good Question and broad answer.  Here you go.

Instead of OR (object Repository) use DP to avoid huge maintenance.

Here is example:

Assume you need to click on OK button in AUT v1.0 and it has this hierarchy:

Browser -> Page -> Frame -> OK button

Code:

Set objHome = Browser("title:=xyz").Page("title:=xyz").Frame("name:=xyz")

objHome.WebButton("name:=OK").Click

Now in AUT v2.0 there is no frame means:

Browser -> Page -> OK button

So just change objHome variable definition.  This is an example only, depends on no. of times / modifications you need to apply various logics.

   For this type of situations Descriptive Programming is the better solution:

  When object repository is getting huge due to the no. of objects being added. If the size of Object repository increases too much then it decreases the performance of QTP while recognizing a object.

Also, these type of scenarios mostly comes while automating FLEX based applications...
