WinRunner

Introduction

Mercury interactive win runner is a testing tool to do functional/ regression testing. Using win runner, you can record GUI operations. While recording, win runner automatically creates a test script. This test script can be run automatically later on for carrying out unattended testing. The Important aspects of win runner are:

You can do functional/ regression testing of a variety of application software written in programming languages such as powerbuilder, visual basic, C/ C++ and java. You can do testing in different windows operating systems and different browser environment. You can record GUI operations in the record mode. Win runner automatically creates a test script. This test can be modified and can be executed later on in unattended mode. You can add checkpoints to compare actual and expected results. The checkpoints can be GUI checkpoints, Bitmap checkpoints and synchronization checkpoints. Data driver wizard provides the facility to convert a record test into a data driven test. So, you can replace data with variables within a test script. The virtual object wizard of win runner is used to teach win runner to recognize, record and replay custom objects. The reporting tools provide facility to generate automatically the test reports and analyze the defects. Win runner can be integrated with the testing management tools to automate many activities in the testing process.
