In this exercise you will record the process of opening the graph in the Flight Reservation application to read the total number of tickets sold, creating a new order, and opening the graph again. In the next exercise you will add programming elements to the test script that verify the text in the graph.
Note that in order for WinRunner to read text on computers with certain display drivers, including ATI, you must learn the fonts in the Flight Reservation application before you can perform this exercise. If WinRunner fails to read text in the exercise below, stop the exercise, follow the instructions in "Teaching Fonts to WinRunner" in the next section, and then repeat this exercise from the beginning.
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 Open 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.
