By defining a bitmap as a virtual object, you can instruct WinRunner to treat it like a GUI object such as a push button, when you record and run tests. b. Using the Virtual Object wizard, you can assign a bitmap to a standard object class, define...

I am new to WinRunner, so sorry if this is a obvious question. If my web application is opened and I hit record, my Internet Explorer window closes. This requires me to start recording from the very beginning (launching IE) and walk though the entire workflow prior to where I wanted to start recording. Thanks for any help.

I have a script I want to run at a certain time of day. I'm using XP's Scheduler (under System Tools) to schedule this. I'm doing something wrong but don't know what. Winrunner starts but my script does not. Any ideas?"C:Program FilesMercury Interactivewinrunnerarchwrun.exe" -t c:acdstatusscript -run_minimized -dont_quit -run -addins ActiveX,pb,vb,WebTest
