I have used sp_depends first time like this 

sp_depends TestTable

As result I got some stored procedures and views. Now when I look (Ctrl F for TestTable) at script of stored procedures and views I do not see that they would be referring to TestTable.

If not using script is there any other dependency could be there? If yes how?
