WinRunner and TestDirector both Mercury's Product.

WinRunner for Application's Functionality Testing Tool for Regression Testing. Record and update the TSL then Replay it with Num of iterations. But TestDirector for Test Management Tool could organize the Requirements, TestPlan, TestLab, Defect Tracking everything with providing previlges. From TestDirector could Remote Run the WinRunner LoadRunner Scripts.

Winrunner is the Test Automation tool where as Test Director is the Test Management Tool.

Test Automation Tools is the one which actually automates the system. It has features like record, play. Scipting (coding) can also be done in it. You automate your system using this tool and get results.

Test Management Tool is the one in which you write your test scripts, execute them. You can also raise defect in it. You can attach your test evidences (like screenshots) in it. Generation of customise exection status/defect status reports is also possible.
