What is contained in the GUI map?

WinRunner stores information it learns about a window or object in a GUI Map. When WinRunner runs a test, it uses the GUI map to locate objects. It reads an object’s description in the GUI map and then looks for an object with the same properties in the application being tested. Each of these objects in the GUI Map file will be having a logical name and a physical description.
There are 2 types of GUI Map files.
i. Global GUI Map file: a single GUI Map file for the entire application
ii. GUI Map File per Test: WinRunner automatically creates a GUI Map file for each test created.

GUI map is the repositatory for storing all the learned objects. It acts as an interface between winrunner and the application. No two objects will have the same physical description. GUI map contains all the objects, windows and its corresponding physical descritpion. Physical description helps the object to be unique by learning its properties

A Gui map has gui files,
It contains all the objects logical names and physical descriptions which are learned, recorded by tester at AUT.

So, We can find, modify and delete object logical names and physical descriptions.

Based on these WR recognise and test the applicatuion at run time.


If any concerns let me know.

GUI Map editor contains all the objects of the application, It acts as a mediator between application and script, in GUI Map editor we can add or delete an object, Modify logical name or physical description.  When we are recording the scripts it adds only the objects which are recorded but when we are learning the window it learns all the object from the particular window.

GUI is of 2 types
1 Global GUI
2 per test mode

GUI is the interface between application and tool. Its a location where we maintain entries of the object ie Physical description and logical name


When we run the script in Winrunner it goes to the GUI and search for the entries of the object if there is no entry it doesn't recognise the object.
