Data driven testing is easy in Rational Robot as compared to WinRunner. Ther is not GUI in Rational ROBOT.

The recording method is simpler as compared to WinRunner.

Rational robot is IBM product.Mainly used for testing the IBM application.Used for tracking the bugs.We can build the test cases with in the tool and execute the test cases.Here we can't synchoronize the tests.Here the script generated is SQA/VB script.

Winrunner is a mercury interactive product.Used for Functional /regression testing tool.

Here we can't write the test cases but we can automatically create or manuallly write the corresponding test script.Here we can sycronize the tests.

Here the script generated is test script language(tsl)
