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 in the application being tested. Each of these objects in the GUI Map file will be having a logical name and a physical description. There...

Have you created test scripts and what is contained in the test scripts?
Yes I have created test scripts. It contains the statement in Mercury Interactive’s Test Script Language (TSL). These statements appear as a test script in a test window. You can then enhance your recorded test script, either by typing in additional TSL functions and programming elements or by using WinRunner’s visual programming tool, the Function Generator.

Yes. The test script is written in TSL (test script language) and it contains all the information that we have recorded using the winrunner tool. Information = what all are the objects that are been recorded, what all the actions performed by the winrunner etc.

When the WInrunner looks for a object at a particular line it refers to the GUI map editor and then look for the same object in AUT by using its logical name and the physical description.

How do you handle unexpected events and errors?
WinRunner uses exception handling to detect an unexpected event when it occurs and act to recover the test run. WinRunner enables you to handle the following types of exceptions: Pop-up exceptions: Instruct WinRunner to detect and handle the appearance of a specific window. TSL exceptions: Instruct WinRunner to detect and handle TSL functions that return a specific error code. Object exceptions:...

What is parameterizing?
In order for WinRunner to use data to drive the test, you must link the data to the test script which it drives. This is called parameterizing your test. The data is stored in a data table.

In order for winrunner to use data to drive the test, replace fixed values in the check point statement and in recorded statement with parameters and creating a data table containing values for parameters. This is known as parameterizing the test.

What are the synchronization points?
Synchronization points enable you to solve anticipated timing problems between the test and your application. For example, if you create a test that opens a database application, you can add a synchronization point that causes the test to wait until the database records are loaded on the screen. b. For Analog testing, you can also use a synchronization point to ensure that WinRunner repositions...

Yes, The above answer is absolutely right. Synchronization Point is a mismatch between the speed of application and the speed of script execution.Synchronization Point is of three types.1. Object/Window property2. Object/Window bitmap3. screen area bitmap.

What is a checkpoint and what are different types of checkpoints?
Checkpoints allow you to compare the current behavior of the application being tested to its behavior in an earlier version. You can add four types of checkpoints to your test scripts: i. GUI checkpoints verify information about GUI objects. For example, you can check that a button is enabled or see which item is selected in a list. ii. Bitmap checkpoints take a “snapshot” of a window...

What are the virtual objects and how do you learn them?
Applications may contain bitmaps that look and behave like GUI objects. WinRunner records operations on these bitmaps using win_mouse_click statements. 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...

Virtual Objects are those which converts the objects into a Standard objects. Like Objects which is not a Standard Objects (like Microsoft standards) but looks and behaves like a standard objects so inorder to recognize as a Standard Object the virtual object was used

The GUI Map Configuration is needed when some objects does not recognize as a Standard object (like Microsoft standards etc..) but behaves like Standard Object which is called it as a Custom Objects. So in order to map the Custom Objects into Standard Objects you require GUI Map Configuration.

Many applications contains custom objkects.A custom object is an object not belonging to the one of the standard classes.if a custom object is behaves as a standard object, we can map to one of the standard classes.using GUI map cinfiguration we can map custom objects to standard objects.

What is the purpose of set_window command?
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(<logical name>, 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.

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 addin 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.
