as winrunner support is no longer available. Our organization is looking to shift to UFT however, there are like so many scripts written in winrunner, can i somehow use them in UFT? i just dont want to write each and every script from scratch
First of all, I would like to give the brief description about WinRunner. It is a powerful automated testing tool developed by Mercury Interactive Company since it is basically used for functional regression testing. Also, It automates the testing process. Hence, to ensure that the applications performing as we expected or Not. It records operations as you perform them manually in your applications build and generates a test with required observation as checkpoints. In addition, you can run your test on application build and analyze the result manually with respect to the corresponding manual test case. Then, WinRunner enables you to adapt and reuse your tests for regression and protecting your effort in test creation.
We are going to discuss various techniques and modes to record (like context sensitive and analog) a test case using win runner. So, we will understand how one can use WinRunner effectively to make the testing job easy.
Finally, every automated test script program consists of navigational statements to operate build and checkpoints. To conduct required functional observation with respect to the corresponding manual functional test case. So, the scripting language tests script language for automating a manual test case. Because it is mercury interactive C-like Test scripting language. Therefore you create a test script by recording or programming TSL statements.
First of all, you need an Add-in manager window, as shown in the figure. After that, list out all WinRunner supported technologies with respect to purchased Add-in licenses. So, this window will open while launching WinRunner on our desktop.
WinRunner also allows you to create automation test on selected technologies, which are used to implement your software build, in Add-in Manager. In above picture, a test engineer already selected ActiveX controls, PowerBuilder, and VisualBasic options. For this reason, WinRunner supports tests creation on your software build which is developed using selected technologies.
Once the WinRunner is launched on the desktop, the test engineer can open corresponding stable build for test creation and execution. While in this test creation and execution of the build, test engineers use the following buttons regularly.
A. Context Sensitive Mode: It is the default mode in WinRunner. For this reason, WinRunner records mouse and keyboard operations with respect to objects and windows in your application build.
Then, it records the operations you perform on your application by identifying graphical user interface GUI objects.
In this mode, The WinRunner records mouse pointer movements on the desktop. Especially analog Recording Option Records Keyboard input, mouse click, and the precise x- and y- coordinates traveled by the mouse pointer across the screen. To select analog mode, follow any one of the navigation paths
Generally, the test script you create with is written in text script language(TSL). TSL is a C-Like programming language which is specially designed for testing. Hence, It is a high-level language and easy to use because it provides all the concepts of conventional programming languages with functions to improve test efficiency using WinRunner. Therefore, This enables you to modify record test script or to write sophisticated test scripts. However, there are four types of TSL Functions. Each type of function addresses a different requirement.
Basically, checkpoints define a verification or condition on a testable functionality of software build. So, It is a functional testing tool and it provides facilities to automate the following coverage of an application.
To verify properties of objects in a software build, we can use this checkpoint. Generally, this checkpoint can be used for verifying properties of objects in a software build, this checkpoint consists of three sub-options-
A bitmap is the binary representation of an image. Therefore, we can use this checkpoint to compare images in versions of our build application. Since, this checkpoint only supports static image due to the images with dynamism, for Example-
First of all, we should know that- to Automate backend testing, test Engineer generally use this checkpoint in WinRunner. Hence, at the time of backend testing, test engineer validates the impact of front-end operations of backend tables in terms of data validation and data integrity. While Data validation means correctness of inserting new values into a database table. Data integrity means correctness of changes in existing values.
These days every application demands its own database for storing various information. At the time of testing the application, the database of that application should also be tested to ensure that the values entered into the database are correct. While, in WinRunner, For Checking databases, we have a feature called database checkpoint. Since Database CheckPoint consists of three sub-options.
Winrunner is one of the most famousload testing tools available today which operate at the level of graphical userinterface. Recording and playing back the user actions has become such an easytask with the help of this winrunner software package.
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.
The Windows deployment tool windeployqt is designed to automate the process of creating a deployable folder containing the Qt-related dependencies (libraries, QML imports, plugins, and translations) required to run the application from that folder. It creates an installation tree for Windows desktop applications, which can be easily bundled into an installation package.
The tool can be found in QTDIR/bin/windeployqt. It needs to be run within the build environment in order to function correctly. When using Qt Online Installer, the script QTDIR/bin/qtenv2.bat should be used to set it up.
windeployqt takes an .exe file or a directory that contains an .exe file as an argument, and scans the executable for dependencies. If a directory is passed with the --qmldir argument, windeployqt uses the qmlimportscanner tool to scan QML files inside the directory for QML import dependencies. Identified dependencies are then copied to the executable's directory.
For Windows desktop applications, the required runtime files for the compiler are also copied to the deployable folder by default (unless the option --no-compiler-runtime is specified). In the case of release builds using Microsoft Visual C++, these consist of the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages, which are intended for recursive installation by the application's installer on the target machine. Otherwise, the shared libraries of the compiler runtime are used.
