Creating a Test

Creating a Test

In this first exercise you will create a test that opens a new order in the Flight Reservation application and inserts the order into a database.

1 Start WinRunner and open a new test. If WinRunner is not already open, choose Programs > WinRunner > WinRunner on the Start menu. If the Welcome window is open, click the New Test button. Otherwise, choose File > New. A new test window opens.

2 Start the Flight Reservation application and log in. Choose Programs > WinRunner > Sample Applications > Flight 1A on the Start menu. In the Login window, type your name and the password mercury, and click OK. Reposition the Flight Reservation application and WinRunner so that they are both clearly visible on your desktop.

3 Start recording in Context Sensitive mode. Choose Create > Record—Context Sensitive or click the Record button on the toolbar. WinRunner will start recording the test.

4 Create a new order. Choose File > New Order in the Flight Reservation application.
6 Insert the order into the database. Click the Insert Order button. When the insertion is complete, the "Insert Done" message appears in the status bar.

7 Delete the order. Click the Delete Order button and click Yes in the message window to confirm the deletion.

8 Stop recording. Choose Create > Stop Recording or click the Stop button.

9 Save the test. Choose File > Save. Save the test as lesson4 in a convenient location on your hard drive. Click Save to close the Save Test dialog box.
