Hi,

Please relate to the gui file and test mode separately.

1. GUI map file:
This is a repository or container or file that stores all the objects for the applications under test,  that can be/shall be/need to be accessed through the WinRunner script/code. (typical object examples are: Text Box, Radio Button, Combo Box, Tables, Grids, Window Frames, etc.)
They will be stored in the form of a Class and property pair.
e.g:
Class: Window,
Properties:
Name, Size, Width, Height, etc...

2. Gui test mode:
I am not sure exactly what this refers to, but I guess it should be one of the following:

a. The GUI file can be developed for every script (one gui file - per test script) or it can be set up as a shared gui file/map (all scripts will share the same file). The latter is recommended and hope this is what the qs refers to.

b. The script can be run in debug, update and there is a third (normal) mode,the name i forgot. It refers to the way WinRunner displays results and updates checkpoints during run.

Thanks,
Aditya.
