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);

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...

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...

The difference between bitmaps option in the Run Tab of the general options defines the minimum number of pixels that constitute a bitmap mismatch

You can check a single property of a GUI object. For example, you can check whether a button is enabled or disabled or whether an item in a list is selected. To create a GUI checkpoint for a property value, use the Check Property dialog box to add one of the following functions to the test script: i. button_check_info ii. scroll_check_info iii. edit_check_info iv. static_check_info v. list_check_info...

WinRunner learns custom class objects under the generic “object” class. WinRunner records operations on custom objects using obj_ statements.

In cases where the obligatory and optional properties do not uniquely identify an object, WinRunner uses a selector to differentiate between them. Two types of selectors are available: i. A location selector uses the spatial position of objects. ii. An index selector uses a unique number to identify the object in a window.

Record instructs WinRunner to record all operations performed on a GUI object. This is the default record method for all classes. (The only exception is the static class (static text), for which the default is Pass Up.) b. Pass Up instructs WinRunner to record an operation performed on this class as an operation performed on the element containing the object. Usually this element is a window,...

The test script name in the Startup Test box in the Environment tab in the General Options dialog box is the start up file in WinRunner.

For each class, WinRunner learns a set of default properties. Each default property is classified “obligatory” or “optional”. i. An obligatory property is always learned (if it exists). ii. An optional property is used only if the obligatory properties do not provide unique identification of an object. These optional properties are stored in a list. WinRunner selects...

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.

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

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.

We can copy and move objects between different GUI Map files using the GUI Map Editor. The steps to be followed are: i. Choose Tools > GUI Map Editor to open the GUI Map Editor. ii. Choose View > GUI Files. iii. Click Expand in the GUI Map Editor. The dialog box expands to display two GUI map files simultaneously. iv. View a different GUI map file on each side of the dialog box by clicking...

We can clear a GUI Map file using the “Clear All” option in the GUI Map Editor.

GUI Map Editor has a Filter option. This provides for filtering with 3 different types of options. i. Logical name displays only objects with the specified logical name. ii. Physical description displays only objects matching the specified physical description. Use any substring belonging to the physical description. iii. Class displays only objects of the specified class, such as all the push...

To find a particular object in the GUI Map file in the application, select the object and click the Show window. This blinks the selected object. To find a particular object in a GUI Map file click the Find button, which gives the option to select the object. When the object is selected, if the object has been learned to the GUI Map file it will be focused in the GUI Map file.

The GUI Map Editor is been provided with a Find and Show Buttons. i. To find a particular object in the GUI Map file in the application, select the object and click the Show window. This blinks the selected object. ii. To find a particular object in a GUI Map file click the Find button, which gives the option to select the object. When the object is selected, if the object has been learned to...

You can modify the logical name or the physical description of an object in a GUI map file using the GUI Map Editor.

When we load a GUI Map file, the information about the windows and the objects with their logical names and physical description are loaded into memory. So when the WinRunner executes a script on a particular window, it can identify the objects using this information loaded in the memory.
