Win Runner Q & A Part 16

151. What is the purpose of setting a break point?

152. What is a watch list?

153. During debugging how do you monitor the value of the variables?

154.What are the reasons that WinRunner fails to identify an object on the GUI?

a) WinRunner fails to identify an object in a GUI due to various reasons.

i. The object is not a standard windows object.

ii. If the browser used is not compatible with the WinRunner version, GUI Map Editor will not be able to learn any of the objects displayed in the browser window.

155.What do you mean by the logical name of the object.

a) An object’s logical name is determined by its class. In most cases, the logical name is the label that appears on an object.

156.If the object does not have a name then what will be the logical name?

If the object does not have a name then the logical name could be the attached text.

157.What is the different between GUI map and GUI map files?

a) The GUI map is actually the sum of one or more GUI map files. There are two modes for organizing GUI map files.

i. Global GUI Map file: a single GUI Map file for the entire application

ii. GUI Map File per Test: WinRunner automatically creates a GUI Map file for each test created.

b) GUI Map file is a file which contains the windows and the objects learned by the WinRunner with its logical name and their physical description.

158.How do you view the contents of the GUI map?

a) GUI Map editor displays the content of a GUI Map. We can invoke GUI Map Editor from the Tools Menu in WinRunner. The GUI Map Editor displays the various GUI Map files created and the windows and objects learned in to them with their logical name and physical description.

160.What is startup script in WinRunner?

It is writing a script and when WinRunner starts it automatically runs the script. If you write script like invoking some application as soon as the script is run the application will be invoked for the purpose of testing

161.What is the purpose of loading WinRunner add-ins?

Add-ins are used in WinRunner to load functions specific to the particular add-in to the memory. While creating a script only those functions in the add-in selected will be listed in the function generator,and while executing the script only those functions in the loaded add-in will be executed,else WinRunner will give an error message saying it does not recognize the function

162.What is the purpose of GUI spy?

Using the GUI spy you can view the properties of any GUI object and your desktop. You use the spy pointer to point to an object,and the GUI spy displays the properties and their values in the GUI spy dialog box. You can choose to view all properties of an object, or only the selected set of properties that WinRunner learns.

163.When you create GUI map do you record all the objects of specific objects?

a) If we are learning a window then WinRunner automatically learns all the objects in the window else we will we identifying those object, which are to be learned in a window, since we will be working with only those objects while creating scripts.

164.What is the purpose of set_window command?

b) Set_Window command sets the focus to the specified window. We use this command to set the focus to the required window before executing tests on a particular window.

Syntax: set_window(, time);

The logical name is the logical name of the window and time is the time the execution has to wait till it gets the given window into focus.

165.How do you load GUI map?

c) We can load a GUI Map by using the GUI_load command.

Syntax: GUI_load();

166..What is the disadvantage of loading the GUI maps through start up scripts?

d) If we are using a single GUI Map file for the entire AUT then the memory used by the GUI Map may be much high.

e) If there is any change in the object being learned then WinRunner will not be able to recognize the object, as it is not in the GUI Map file loaded in the memory. So we will have to learn the object again and update the GUI File and reload it.

167.How do you unload the GUI map?

f) We can use GUI_close to unload a specific GUI Map file or else we call use GUI_close_all command to unload all the GUI Map files loaded in the memory.

Syntax: GUI_close(); or GUI_close_all;
