Winrunner Testing Tool Full Version Free 38
Sandrine Willert
WinRunner 2000 is one of the optional extensions in Mainframe Express.This chapter covers its basic features by demonstrating how to use it to createand run a test. It leads you step-by-step through the creation of a project andthen shows you how to create a WinRunner 2000 test, record a script, replay thescript by running the WinRunner 2000 test and analyze the results.
The Micro FocusWinRunner 2000 automated testing tool uses Mainframe Express to executemainframe applications on the PC. The same test scripts can then be re-used toexecute the application on the mainframe via 3270 emulation.
You can use WinRunner 2000 to record a session. A session begins when you switch recording on and ends when you switch recording off. While recording is switched on, WinRunner 2000 records every keystroke that you make.
When you use WinRunner 2000 to record a session, the keystrokes that you make are recorded in a script. Once created (by recording a session), a WinRunner 2000 script can be played back. Playing back a script automatically executes the recorded keystrokes.
Test Script Language (TSL) is Mercury's enhanced C-like programming language, designed for testing. Scripts are written in TSL. You can edit your scripts to add TSL functions. A large number of TSL functions are provided, including some Mainframe Express specific ones.
WinRunner 2000 learns an application by recording the properties of each GUI object in the application. These properties are recorded in a GUI map. This feature has been used within the integrated Micro Focus WinRunner 2000 to learn Mainframe Express. A ready-made GUI map of Mainframe Express is provided, making it easy for you to use WinRunner 2000 with your Mainframe Express applications.
Once you have created your WinRunner 2000 test and selected to recordthe script, WinRunner 2000 is started in record mode and the applicationassociated with the test (in this case, Calculator) is started using theapplication start parameters that you have defined.
WinRunner 2000 has recorded every keystroke that you have made. Your script should look very similar to this (the numbers may be different and the win_mouse_click and win_mouse_drag commands may vary):
If, for any reason, your script contains additional keystrokes (for example, because you have been clicking on the online version of this Getting Started to check the instructions), edit the script so that it resembles that shown above and then save it.
This tutorial has covered the basic features of the integrated WinRunner2000 - creating a test, recording a script and playing it back. For moreadvanced WinRunner 2000 features, try the WinRunner 2000 Tutorial.
Mr. W.:
Mercury is a brand name in testing providing various tools like winrunner, test director etc.Talking of general testing skills I am proficient in Module, integration ,system and UAT.
And while I am at it, even though I do still think certifications have some value, as long as everyone really understands what they are, I am, as a card carrying Mercury Certified Consultant and Mercury Certified Instructor, (and your right, there is no Mercury Certified Tester) I am personally insulted and offended at his mis-use and attempted mis-characterization of what that is and what it means.
WinRunner is an Automation Software Testing Tool that is owned by HP and was developed by Mercury Interactive. It is known and extensively used for its ability to supports the majority of the programming languages and web development technologies such as C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, VC++, D2K, Java, HTML, Power Builder, Delphe, Cibell, etc. It is used for performing various testing techniques, which includes the functional testing, user interface testing, integration testing, regression testing, etc., by making use of its options to record the functionality for creating test steps and by using the playback UI interactions option for generating the test scripts.
WinRunner is a Functional Testing tool to work on a compilation of tests that are used for collaborating with the HP QuickTest Professional and to be used as a supporting element for the quality assurance process, as a part of Test phase in the Software Development Life Cycle. This testing software is applied as a part of progress in product excellence.
The testing process here goes by capturing the functional requirement/ test requirement, by verifying the actual results against the expected results and by replaying the user operations/ functional activities performed on the software product. In this process, the tool can involuntarily perform the complete testing process while identifying the defects with respect to the product design provided by the business/ client personnel. The WinRunner Automation tool uses the Test Script Language (TSL) that is identical to the C programmingLanguage in terms of receiving the user activities as the process input and by allowing remarkable flexibility for modification and applying a constraint to the same.
The recording process is an insightful method that facilitates the generation of vigorous functional test items. In order to create the same, the tool typically records the functional flow of the software application by imitating the user actions throughout the recording process. It also allows the testing professional to straight-up revise& update the scripts produced to match meet the most functionality described in the functional requirement specification documentation.
The process proceeds by allowing the testers to add checkpoints in order to enable the comparison process for testing between the functionality assigned as the expected results with that of the functionality assigned as the actual results. These checkpoints can include the test criteria, the user interface features, images/ logo and the navigation flow in the form of URLs.
This testing process can contain a series of validations like the cosmetic appearance of the application, the web communication interfaces, the middleware communication aspects, the database validation to evaluate the functionalities. It is known for being a data-driven type of automation testing tool. Another feature named the Virtual Object Wizard allows the testing professionals to learn theWinRunnerin identifying the functionalities, the process of recording, and replaying the items assigned under the application functionality. During the execution process, the WinRunner controls the software on its own, by imitating as the user/ usersby carrying out the step by step flow on the functional flow, and the inbuilt Recovery Manager & Exception Handling features works on automatic troubleshooting characteristics in the occurrence of unpredicted actions, errors, misbehaviors, collapses, etc., for the testing process to flow through a problem-free functional flow.
Analog recording mode in the WinRunner application is used for recording each and every mouse click, the inputs received from the keyboard, and the accurate coordinates picked up from the mouse in the form of a two dimensional (X, Y) input. During the test execution, this testing tool tracks down the mouse movements to gather the mentioned information. And so, this mode of Analog Recording in WinRunner is applied whenever the precise mouse coordinate is required as the input for test execution.

I'm interested in UI testing a client only Java application. What is the most popular framework for doing so? What is your recommended framework? Also, why doesn't Selenium do this (or does it)? It seems to me that anything that can test a web app should be able to test a windows app.
Try FEST framework.This is what was previously known as Abbot, if I'm not mistaken. I use this for automated testing and it seems to be very simple and convenient. Simple things are made easy and complex things are not a rocket science there. I considered UISpecj4j, but it didn't suite me, because there is no technical possibility to test Drag'n'Drop while it's a must. Besides it's quite difficult to develop tests when you don't actually see what's happening (UISpec4J uses fake, invisible look'n'feel)
The reason Selenium can't do this is that it uses Javascript running in the web browser to do the testing. It simulates clicking buttons, entering data, etc via Javascript. If Javascript is disabled, it won't work. And since Swing/AWT apps don't have Javascript, Selenium won't work on them, either.
As far as I am concerned there isn't really a Testing Framework that is comparable to Selenium on the desktop because it is quite hard to write a framework that hooks into the OS as natively as Selenium Hooks into the Browser. Popular, not necessilary best, are QTP, SilkTest, TestComplete
If you are looking for an open-source tool, have a look at Marathon. It lets you record and play back tests, generate reports, and integrate your own code for testing custom components. I've been using it for several years and have hundreds of tests.
Sikuli is a technology born in MIT UI Design group that allows to automate computer operations using computer vision. Computer vision recognizes patterns from screenshots of graphical user interfaces (GUI) and Jython script language is used to take actions on them. Language includes graphical elements and is best edited with IDE that comes with the software. Sikuli can be used for automated software testing, like Selenium is used to control a web page, it can control pretty much any interface that it can recognize and click or enter text - PC (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) applications, and even an iPhone or Android application running in a simulator or via VNC.
Sikuli API for Java provides image-based GUI automation functionalities to Java programmers. It is created and will be actively maintained by Sikuli Lab. This new Java library has a re-designed API and includes several new functions that were not available in the original Sikuli Script, such as the abilities to match colors, handle events, and find geometric patterns such as rectangular buttons. Moreover, it has a greatly simplified build process based on Maven.
