Winrunner Interview Questions and Answers
How you used WinRunner in your project?
Yes, I have been using WinRunner for creating
automated scripts for GUI, functional and regression
testing of the AUT.
Explain WinRunner testing process?
WinRunner testing process involves six main stages
* Create GUI Map File so that WinRunner can recognize
the GUI objects in the application being tested
* Create test scripts by recording, programming, or a
combination of both. While recording tests, insert
checkpoints where you want to check the response of the
application being tested.
* Debug Test: run tests in Debug mode to make sure they
run smoothly
* Run Tests: run tests in Verify mode to test your
application.
* View Results: determines the success or failure of the
tests.
* Report Defects: If a test run fails due to a defect in
the application being tested, you can report information
about the defect directly from the Test Results window.
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 are 2 types of GUI Map files. Global GUI Map file:
a single GUI Map file for the entire application. GUI
Map File per Test: WinRunner automatically creates a GUI
Map file for each test created.
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 in the application being
tested.
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.
How does WinRunner evaluate 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
during the test run, you can view the expected results
and the actual results from the Test Results window.
Have you performed debugging of the scripts?
Yes, I have performed debugging of scripts. We can
debug the script by executing the script in the debug
mode. We can also debug script using the Step, Step
Into, Step out functionalities provided by the
WinRunner.
How do you run your test scripts?
We run tests in Verify mode to test your application.
Each time WinRunner encounters a checkpoint in the test
script, it compares the current data of the application
being tested to the expected data captured earlier. If
any mismatches are found, WinRunner captures them as
actual results.
How do you analyze results and report the defects?
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
during the test run, you can view the expected results
and the actual results from the Test Results window. If
a test run fails due to a defect in the application
being tested, you can report information about the
defect directly from the Test Results window. This
information is sent via e-mail to the quality assurance
manager, who tracks the defect until it is fixed.
