When you create a custom check on a database, you create a standard database checkpoint in which you can specify which properties to check on a result set. b. You can create a custom check on a database in order to: i. check the contents of part or the entire result set ii. edit the expected results of the contents of the result set iii. count the rows in the result set iv. count the columns...

Synchronization compensates for inconsistencies in the performance of your application during a test run. By inserting a synchronization point in your test script, you can instruct WinRunner to suspend the test run and wait for a cue before continuing the test.b. You can a synchronization point that instructs WinRunner to wait for a specified object or window to appear. For example, you can...

You can create a bitmap synchronization point that waits for the bitmap of an object or a window to appear in the application being tested. b. During a test run, WinRunner suspends test execution until the specified bitmap is redrawn, and then compares the current bitmap with the expected one captured earlier. If the bitmaps match, then WinRunner continues the test. Syntax: obj_wait_bitmap...

For screen area verification we actually capture the screen area into a bitmap and verify the application screen area with the bitmap file during execution Syntax: obj_wait_bitmap(object, image, time, x, y, width, height);

WinRunner has an edit checklist file option under the create menu. Select the “Edit GUI Checklist” to modify GUI checklist file and “Edit Database Checklist” to edit database checklist file. This brings up a dialog box that gives you option to select the checklist file to modify. There is also an option to select the scope of the checklist file, whether it is Test specific...

We can modify the expected value of the object by executing the script in the Update mode. We can also manually edit the gui*.chk file which contains the expected values which come under the exp folder to change the values.

WinRunner provides with add-ins for ActiveX and Visual basic objects. When loading WinRunner, select those add-ins and these add-ins provide with a set of functions to work on ActiveX and VB objects.

We can create ODBC query using the database checkpoint wizard. It provides with option to create an SQL file that uses an ODBC DSN to connect to the database. The SQL File will contain the connection string and the SQL statement.

You can use Data Junction to create a conversion file which converts a database to a target text file.

A parameterized query is a query in which at least one of the fields of the WHERE clause is parameterized, i.e., the value of the field is specified by a question mark symbol ( ? ). For example, the following SQL statement is based on a query on the database in the sample Flight Reservation application: i. SELECT Flights.Departure, Flights.Flight_Number, Flights.Day_Of_Week FROM Flights Flights...

db_connect i. to connect to a database db_connect(<session_name>, <connection_string>); b. db_execute_query i. to execute a query db_execute_query ( session_name, SQL, record_number ); record_number is the out value. c. db_get_field_value i. returns the value of a single field in the specified row_index and column in the session_name database session. db_get_field_value ( session_name,...

You can use text checkpoints in your test scripts to read and check text in GUI objects and in areas of the screen. While creating a test you point to an object or a window containing text. WinRunner reads the text and writes a TSL statement to the test script. You may then add simple programming elements to your test scripts to verify the contents of the text. b. You can use a text checkpoint...

We use obj_get_text (<logical_name>, <out_text>) function to get the text from an object b. We use win_get_text (window, out_text [, x1, y1, x2, y2]) function to get the text from a window.

Returns a text string from an object. web_obj_get_text (object, table_row, table_column, out_text [, text_before, text_after, index]); i. object The logical name of the object. ii. table_row If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the row within a table. The string is preceded by the # character. iii. table_column If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the column...

We use web_obj_text_exists function for web text checkpoints. web_obj_text_exists ( object, table_row, table_column, text_to_find [, text_before, text_after] ); object The logical name of the object to search. b. table_row If the object is a table, it specifies the location of the row within a table. The string is preceded by the character #. c. table_column If the object is a table, it specifies...

Searching text on the window i. find_text ( string, out_coord_array, search_area [, string_def ] ); string The string that is searched for. The string must be complete, contain no spaces, and it must be preceded and followed by a space outside the quotation marks. To specify a literal, case-sensitive string, enclose the string in quotation marks. Alternatively, you can specify the name of a string...

The steps involved in data driven testing are: i. Creating a test ii. Converting to a data-driven test and preparing a database iii. Running the test iv. Analyzing the test results.

You can use the DataDriver Wizard to convert your entire script or a part of your script into a data-driven test. For example, your test script may include recorded operations, checkpoints, and other statements that do not need to be repeated for multiple sets of dat

Ddt_open i. Creates or opens a datatable file so that WinRunner can access it. Syntax: ddt_open ( data_table_name, mode );data_table_name The name of the data table. The name may be the table variable name, the Microsoft Excel file or a tabbed text file name, or the full path and file name of the table. The first row in the file contains the names of the parameters. This row is labeled row 0....

A pop-up exception Handler handles the pop-up messages that come up during the execution of the script in the AUT. TO handle this type of exception we make WinRunner learn the window and also specify a handler to the exception. It could be i. Default actions: WinRunner clicks the OK or Cancel button in the pop-up window, or presses Enter on the keyboard. To select a default handler, click the...
