guimap:

• winrunner reads the logical name in the test script and refers to the guimap
• winrunner matches the logical name with the physical description
• winrunner uses the physical description to FIND an object with the application

here 2 guimap files we are USING

1. guimapfile for testmode: winrunner automatically creates guimap FILE for each test
2. GLOBAL guimap file: a single guimap for the entire application

For each class, WinRunner learns a set of default properties. Each default property is classified “obligatory” or “optional”.

1.  An obligatory property is always learned (if it EXISTS).
2.  An optional property is used only if the obligatory properties do not provide unique identification of an object. These optional properties are stored in a list. WinRunner selects the minimum NUMBER of properties from this list that are NECESSARY to identify the object. It BEGINS with the first property in the list, and CONTINUES, if necessary, to add properties to the description until it obtains unique identification for the object.

The testing process in WINRUNNER or In any typical automation tools is

1.  Learning of objects/Creating Object Repository
2.  Record the NAVIGATION Flow/Record The USER Action
3.  Edit Scripts/Placing user CHECK Points
4.  Debug Scripts/For Syntax Check5. Run Scripts/Executed Scripts6. Analyze Results/Compare EXPECTED, Actual/Analyze Reports

The testing process in winrunner or In any typical automation tools is

• You can teach WinRunner to recognize any bitmap in a window as a GUI OBJECT by defining the bitmap as a virtual object.
• You can create virtual push buttons, RADIO buttons, check buttons, lists, or tables, ACCORDING to the bitmaps behavior in your APPLICATION. If none of these is suitable, you can MAP a virtual object to the general object class.

There are 3 TYPES of EXCEPTIONS

• POP UP
• TSL
• OBJECT

There are 3 types of exceptions

• Mainly when we want to check the functionality of the product then we go for WINRUNNER.
• In unit testing mainly we will FOCUS on the structure of the PROGRAM not the functionality. So if we want to check the OUTPUT of SMALL unit then it is ok.
• Normally unit testing developers only do.

There are FOUR recording METHODS in winrunner:

• Record
• Passup
• As OBJECT
• Ignore

A SWITCH statement enables WinRunner to make a decision based on an expression that can have more than two values.
It has the following syntax:
switch (expression )
{
case case_1: statements
case case_2: statements
case case_n: statements
DEFAULT: statement(s)
}

The switch statement consecutively evaluates each case expression until one is found that equals the INITIAL expression. If no case is EQUAL to the expression, then the default statements are executed. The default statements are optional.

• Build is nothing but a Completed INTEGRATED System. Whole System.
• We use to give the build numbers after completing the cycle 1 system testing.
• Developer’s fixes for the bugs in the cycle one after fixing he will give the Build1 to the modified code.
• Here we are using the build NUMBER for identifying the modified code from the PREVIOUS for testing cycle2.

Go to the command prompt and go through the following path(DEPENDS upon the winrunner INSTALLED path)
"C:Program FilesMercury InteractiveWinRunnerarch"
and TYPE "wrun.exe" the winrunner should OPENED.

• A function goes into a compiled MODULE, a script does not.
• A function FOLLOWS strict c SYNTAX. For INSTANCE, you have to declare all variables created and used in the function. In a script you do not.

It’s not possible to MAKE comments in GUI MAP FILE, but its possible to make comments in your script, the one which you have put is for commenting in script(CTRL + T).

If WIN Runner is not able to identify a object as a specific object , we need to tell to WinRunner about that object whether it is a button or Text box. For that Virtual Wizard is USEFUL. From the next time on words winRunner will identify as a specific object as we selected in virtual object wizard.
Sometimes WR can’t identify the TYPE of object if the objects are in grunp mode which is CALLED nonstandard objects. Virtual Object Wizard can be USED to convert those nonstandard objects to standard objects to be identified by WR.

watch list can be used in WR to be ABLE to view the actual values of variables while the test is running. for this we have to select Addwatch under DEBUG MENU. then declare all the variables for which you want to know the value while the script is executing. Automatically winrunner will show a watch list in the left side of script with all the declared variables. While we will execute the script it will show all the values assigned to each variables in the watchlist. This is type of output report but the advantage of using this is we can see it while we are running the script.

We can CREATE a data-driven testing using data from a FLAT file, data table or a database.

1. Using Flat File: we actually store the data to be used in a required format in the file. We ACCESS the file using the File manipulation commands, READS data from the file and assign the variables with data.
2. Data Table: It is an excel file. We can store test data in these files and manipulate them. We use the ‘ddt_*’ FUNCTIONS to manipulate data in the data table.
3. Database: we store test data in the database and access these data using ‘db_*’ functions.

tl_step is a function with the help of which we can MENTION about the PASS or fail STATUS of a particular step or point in the test script.

The syntax is tl_step(step_name,Description,0/1)

• step_name: The name that we want to GET appeared in the Test Result.
• Description: The description of the step name.
• 0/1: It tells whether the step gets passed or failed. 0 is used when the test step gets passed and 1 is used when it fails.

To declare arrays there are two options. They are as follows:

1. Array of primitive
2. Array of reference.

Array of primitive: int[] test= new int[3]
Array of reference: threads[] thread=new threads[5]

we had mentioned the SIZE of array on either declarations because JVM cannot ALLOCATE memory for objects of arrays until we give the size of an array.

• TESTING mainframe applications is called mainframe testing and testing java applications is called java testing.
• Testing can be PERFORMED on any TYPE of applications. It depends on the type of PROJECT you are working with.

• New-when new bug has been found
• Open-when DEVELOPERS are still working on the bug
• fixed- when developer has fixed the bug he assigns this status
• Closed-After retesting the bug and when there are no more issues QA assigns it as Closed status
• Reopen- if the defect is not SATISFIED or defect is not fixed
• Reject-developer may reject the defect with proper reasons ATTACHED if he THINKS that this is not a defect

• set_window is used to MAKE the cursor focus to go to the WINDOW
• win_activate is used to ACTIVATE the window.

first if you want to use some window you will activate it, so for that we use win_activate.but even then your cursor will not be on the window, so for making to MOVE your cursor to that window we use set_window("window NAME", time);

• OBJECT Repository means not a collection of objects.
• It's a common repository for all the people (TESTING, Developers) for seeing all the data in single Login.
• For example QA wants to see 5 TESTERS works then he goes to each person login and see the data. It’s very difficult job. For this We can USE Object Repository.

GUI MAP configuration is used to map a custom OBJECT to a standard object.
GUI Map config is used to make the winrunner recognize the NON standard objects...so by using this we can custom the non standard objects to standard objects...by GIVING them logical name, class, physical descriptions of that objects

Both batch test and SILENT mode are completely different WHENEVER you select a option silent mode option in WIN Runner, While EXECUTING the test scripts it will not give any error (If it is problem in test script or a checkpoint failure whatever it may be) Finally in result WINDOW it will explain all the problems.

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 objects 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.

yes SOMETIMES gui map file contains same logical name for more than ONE object(ex if there 2 ok buttons in the SCREEN) During recording the test it wouldn't CREATE any problems but at the time of running the test the first objects will be operated TWICE. so you need to configure the gui map file by adding mswid as a optional property in order to identify both the objects.

Win runner is a TOOL which is used to create automated test scripts. winrunner doesn’t support all the technologies for EG-: .Net ,Oracle APPS, so when some of the objects in the build are designed with the technologies that winrunner doesn’t support ,it doesn’t recognize those objects while recording .In order to FORCEFULLY recognize those objects we go for virtual RECOGNIZER in the tool. When the particular OBJECT is focused under this virtual option, then tool generates the script without any error.
