WINRunner Class 2

The document discusses the WinRunner testing process and how it identifies GUI objects. It explains that WinRunner uses the Rapid Test Script Wizard to learn object descriptions, which it saves in a GUI map file. This file is then used to identify and locate objects when running tests. The document also discusses how tests identify objects using logical names rather than full physical descriptions, and how data-driven testing works by checking multiple sets of data using functions like ddt_open, ddt_close, and ddt_set_row.

The WinRunner Testing Process

How Does WinRunner Identify


GUI Objects?

GUI application are made up of GUI objects such


• as windows,buttons,lists and menus.

Rapid Test Script Wizard,Which learns the


• description of all the GUI objects.

It saves the object descriptions in GUI map file.

When we run tests,WinRunner uses this file to


• identify and locate objects.
Understanding the GUI Map

• The GUI map is actually the sum of one or more


GUI map files.

• There are two modes for organizing GUI map


files:

• Global GUI Map File Mode.


• the GUI Map File per Test Mode.
How a Test Identifies GUI Objects
• WinRunner identifies each GUI object in
the application being tested by its physical
description: a list of physical properties and
their assigned values.

• These property–value pairs appear in the


following format in the GUI map:

{property1:value1, property2:value2,
property3:value3, ...}
• For example, the description of the “Open” window
contains two properties:

• class and label. In this case the class property has


the value window, while the label property has the
value Open:
– {class:window, label:Open}

• The class property indicates the object’s type. Each


object belongs to a different class, according to its
functionality: window, push button, list, radio
button, menu, etc.
Logical Names

• In the test script, WinRunner does not use


the full physical description for an object.
Instead, it assigns a short name to each
object: the logical name.

• The logical name is the label that appears


on an object:

• for a button, the logical name is its label,


such as OK;
Getting Started with RapidTest

identifies GUI objects.
Synchronizing Tests
When should you synchronize?

• To retrieve information from a database


• For a window to pop up
• For a progress bar to reach 100%
• For a status message to appear
Creating Data- Driven Tests
About Creating Data- Driven Tests

• When you test your application, you may want to


check how it performs the same operations with
multiple sets of data.

• For example, suppose you want to check how


your application responds to ten separate sets of
data.
The Data- Driven Testing Process
Creating a Data- Driven Test

DataDriver Wizard Modify your test script


manually.
Using TSL Functions with Data- Driven Tests
• ddt_ open : Function creates or opens the
specified data table.

ddt_open(data_table_name,mode);

• ddt_ close : Function closes the specified


data table.
ddt_ close ( data_ table_ name );

• ddt_ set_ row : Sets the active row in the specified


data table.

ddt_ set_ row ( data_ table_ name, row );
