“WinRunner Interview Questions and Answers will guide us that HP/Mercury Interactive WinRunner is an automated functional GUI testing tool that allows a user to record and play back UI interactions as test scripts. As a Functional test suite, it works together with HP QuickTest Professional and supports enterprise quality assurance. It captures, verifies and replays user interactions automatically, so you can identify defects and determine whether business processes work as designed.”



67 WinRunner Questions And Answers

21⟩ How to do text matching?

You could try embedding it in an if statement. If/when it fails use a tl_step statement to indicate passage and then do a texit to leave the test. Another idea would be to use win_get_text or web_frame_get_text to capture the text of the object and the do a comparison (using the match function) to determine it's existance.

25⟩ How WinRunner handles varying window labels?

We can handle varying window labels using regular expressions. WinRunner uses two hidden properties in order to use regular expression in an object’s physical description. These properties are regexp_label and regexp_MSW_class.

i. The regexp_label property is used for windows only. It operates behind the scenes to insert a regular expression into a window’s label description.

ii. The regexp_MSW_class property inserts a regular expression into an object’s MSW_class. It is obligatory for all types of windows and for the object class object.

26⟩ What is the purpose of regexp_label property and regexp_MSW_class property?

The regexp_label property is used for windows only. It operates behind the scenes to insert a regular expression into a window’s label description.

The regexp_MSW_class property inserts a regular expression into an object’s MSW_class. It is obligatory for all types of windows and for the object class object.

27⟩ How does WinRunner evaluates test results?

Following each test run, WinRunner displays the results in a report. The report details all the major events that occurred during the run, such as checkpoints, error messages, system messages, or user messages. If mismatches are detected at checkpoints.

29⟩ How does WinRunner recognize objects on the application?

WinRunner uses the GUI Map file to recognize objects on the application. When WinRunner runs a test, it uses the GUI map to locate objects. It reads an object’s description in the GUI map and then looks for an object with the same properties.

30⟩ What is contained in the GUI map?

WinRunner stores information it learns about a window or object in a GUI Map. When WinRunner runs a test, it uses the GUI map to locate objects. It reads an object’s description in the GUI map and then looks for an object with the same properties.

31⟩ Explain WinRunner testing process?

WinRunner testing process involves six main stages: i. Create GUI Map File so that WinRunner can recognize the GUI objects in the application being tested ii. Create test scripts by recording, programming, or a combination of both. While recording.

33⟩ What is the purpose of GUI spy?

Using the GUI Spy, you can view the properties of any GUI object on 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 the properties of an object, or only the selected set of properties that WinRunner learns.

36⟩ How do you configure GUI map?

1. When WinRunner learns the description of a GUI object, it does not learn all its properties. Instead, it learns the minimum number of properties to provide a unique identification of the object.

2. Many applications also contain custom GUI objects. A custom object is any object not belonging to one of the standard classes used by WinRunner. These objects are therefore assigned to the generic object class. When WinRunner records an operation on a custom object, it generates obj_mouse_ statements in the test script.

3. If a custom object is similar to a standard object, you can map it to one of the standard classes. You can also configure the properties WinRunner uses to identify a custom object during Context Sensitive testing. The mapping and the configuration you set are valid only for the current WinRunner session. To make the mapping and the configuration permanent, you must add configuration statements to your startup test script.

37⟩ How do you filter the objects in the GUI map?

GUI Map Editor has a Filter option. This provides for filtering with 3 different types of options.

1. Logical name displays only objects with the specified logical name.

2. Physical description displays only objects matching the specified physical description. Use any substring belonging to the physical description.

3. Class displays only objects of the specified class, such as all the push buttons.

40⟩ How do you copy and move objects between different GUI map files?

We can copy and move objects between different GUI Map files using the GUI Map Editor. The steps to be followed are:

1. Choose Tools - GUI Map Editor to open the GUI Map Editor.

2. Choose View - GUI Files.

3. Click Expand in the GUI Map Editor. The dialog box expands to display two GUI map files simultaneously.

4. View a different GUI map file on each side of the dialog box by clicking the file names in the GUI File lists.

5. In one file, select the objects you want to copy or move. Use the Shift key and or Control key to select multiple objects. To select all objects in a GUI map file, choose Edit - Select All.

6. Click Copy or Move.

7. To restore the GUI Map Editor to its original size, click Collapse.
