  • What is parameterizing?

    In order for WinRunner to use data to drive the test, you must link the data to the test script which it drives. This is called parameterizing your test. The data is stored in a data table.

    In order for winrunner to use data to drive the test, replace fixed values in the check point statement and in recorded statement with parameters and creating a data table containing values for parameters. This is known as parameterizing the test.

  • What are the synchronization points?

    Synchronization points enable you to solve anticipated timing problems between the test and your application. For example, if you create a test that opens a database application, you can add a synchronization point that causes the test to wait until the database records are loaded on the screen. b. For Analog testing, you can also use a synchronization point to ensure that WinRunner repositions...

    Yes, The above answer is absolutely right. Synchronization Point is a mismatch between the speed of application and the speed of script execution.Synchronization Point is of three types.1. Object/Window property2. Object/Window bitmap3. screen area bitmap.

  • What are data driven tests?

    When you test your application, you may want to check how it performs the same operations with multiple sets of dat

  • What is a checkpoint and what are different types of checkpoints?

    Checkpoints allow you to compare the current behavior of the application being tested to its behavior in an earlier version. You can add four types of checkpoints to your test scripts: i. GUI checkpoints verify information about GUI objects. For example, you can check that a button is enabled or see which item is selected in a list. ii. Bitmap checkpoints take a “snapshot” of a window...

    Checkpoints are used to compare actual and expected results.4 types of checkpoints1. GUI Check point2. Bitmap Checkpoint3. Database Checkpoint4. Test Checkpoint

  • What are the two modes of recording?

    There are 2 modes of recording in WinRunner i. Context Sensitive recording records the operations you perform on your application by identifying Graphical User Interface (GUI) objects.ii. Analog recording records keyboard input, mouse clicks, and the precise x- and y-coordinates traveled by the mouse pointer across the screen.

  • What are the virtual objects and how do you learn them?

    Applications may contain bitmaps that look and behave like GUI objects. WinRunner records operations on these bitmaps using win_mouse_click statements. By defining a bitmap as a virtual object, you can instruct WinRunner to treat it like a GUI object such as a push button, when you record and run tests. b. Using the Virtual Object wizard, you can assign a bitmap to a standard object class, define...

    Virtual Objects are those which converts the objects into a Standard objects. Like Objects which is not a Standard Objects (like Microsoft standards) but looks and behaves like a standard objects so inorder to recognize as a Standard Object the virtual object was used

    The GUI Map Configuration is needed when some objects does not recognize as a Standard object (like Microsoft standards etc..) but behaves like Standard Object which is called it as a Custom Objects. So in order to map the Custom Objects into Standard Objects you require GUI Map Configuration.

    Many applications contains custom objkects.A custom object is an object not belonging to the one of the standard classes.if a custom object is behaves as a standard object, we can map to one of the standard classes.using GUI map cinfiguration we can map custom objects to standard objects.

  • What is the purpose of set_window command?

    Set_Window command sets the focus to the specified window. We use this command to set the focus to the required window before executing tests on a particular window. Syntax: set_window(<logical name>, time); The logical name is the logical name of the window and time is the time the execution has to wait till it gets the given window into focus.
