WinRunner automated software functionality test tool from Mercury Interactive for functional and regression testing
Q: For new users, how to use WinRunner to test software applications automately ?
A: The following steps may be of help to you when automating tests
MOST IMPORTANT - write a set of manual tests to test your application -
you cannot just jump in with WR and expect to produce a set of meaningful
tests. Also as you will see from the steps below this set of manual tests
will form your plan to tackle automation of your application.
Once you have a set of manual tests look at them and decide which ones
you can automate using your current level of expertise. NOTE that there will
be tests that are not suitable for automation, either because you can't
automate them, or they are just not worth the effort.
Automate the tests selected in step 2 - initially you will use
capture/replay using the steps in the manual test, but you will soon see
that to produce meaningful and informative tests you need to add additional
code to your test eg. use tl_step() to give test results. As this process
continues you will soon see that there are operations that you repeatedly do
in multiple tests - these are then candidates for user-defined functions and
compiled modules
Once you have completed step 3 go back to step 2 and you will find that
the knowledge you have gained in step 3 will now allow you to select some
more tests that you can do.
If you continue going through this loop you will gradually become more
familiar with WR and TSL, in fact you will probably find that eventually you
do very little capture/replay and more straight TSL coding.
Q: How to use WinRunne to check whether the record was
updated or the record was delelte or the record was inserted or not?
Using WinRunner check point features:
Create->dDB checkpoint->Runtime Record check
Q: How to use WinRunner to test the login screen
A: When you enter wrong id or password, you will get Dialog box.
1. Record this Dialog box
2. User win_exists to check whether dialog box exists or not
3. Playback: Enter wrong id or password, if win_exists is
true, then your application is working good.
Enter good id or password, if win_exists is false,
then your application is working perfectly.
Q: After clicking on "login" button, they opens other windows of
the web application, how to check that page is opened or not
When your expecting "Window1" to come up after clicking on Login...
Capture the window in the GUI Map. No two windows in an web based
application can have the same html_name property. Hence, this would
be the property to check.
First try a simple win_exists("window1",
