Advantages of WinRunnerThe Winrunner wasinitially a creation of the mercury interactive but later was taken underthe supervision of HP (Hewett Packard). - With winrunner, the quick creationof the sophisticated automated tests has been made possible. - With the aid ofwinrunner you have the provision of automating the whole software testingprocess right from the test development to the execution part. - The tests thatwe develop or create using the winrunner are not only automated but they arealso by far adaptable as well as reusable.- The test scripts that theyconsist prove to be quite challenging to the software system or applicationwhich is under testing. - The winrunner also provides you with the convenience ofrunning all the tests you created in an overnight just before the release dateof your software product. - Such an overnight test run helps you to detect anylast moment defects and also ensures that your software product is of superiorquality. - Testing with winrunner reduces the following problems dramatically:Reduces time consumption and tediousness.Reduces the amount of investment in human resources.Roots out most of the serious bugs.- Winrunner is a functional testingtool that was designed with the aim of solving quite a large number of problemsand it does assists the process of software testing in quite a realisticmanner.- With winrunner you get an opportunity for testing your software systemsand applications on quite a large scale or we can say company wide scale. - Theuser functions are verified as well as recorded in an automated way which makessure the proper and cooperative working of the business processes. - Anotherthing is that in winrunner no programming is required to increase theflexibility and power of the tests. - The spund functionality in winrunner isassured with the help of multiple verification types. - The integrity of the backend data base is also verified. - All the attributes if the application objectsare stored and verified. - Winrunner is a single application that can testmultiple environments. - With winrunner, the automatic identification of thediscrepancies present in the data is possible.
Limitations of WinRunner- Winrunner because of its limitations has now been supersededby the HP quick test pro. - The winrunner makes use of the source of the programto create test cases and moreover the coding of the test cases is done in testscript language (TSL) which is a proprietary language.- One of the disadvantagesof the TSL is that very few resources are available for TSL programming.- Thetesters need immense training to be able to implement winrunner properly. - Anotherdisadvantage is the GUI map, which can be many a time quite difficult tounderstand as well as implement. The winrunner does not extends support for thefollowing applications:Few web based applicationsNET applications as well. XMLMultimedia applicationsSap appsOracle appsHowever many of the above discussedlimitations are present only in the older versions of the winrunner and can beeliminated by going for the latest version of the winrunner (8.0+) which doessupports all the web applications and .NET add- in is also available in that. However, the QTP proves to be moreconvenient when it comes to writing the scripts and object values.
