Understanding the Testing Process

Understanding the Testing Process
The WinRunner testing process consists of 6 main phases:
1 Teaching WinRunner the objects in your application WinRunner must learn to recognize the objects in your application in order to run tests. The preferred way to teach WinRunner your objects depends on the GUI map mode you select. The two GUI map modes are described in detail in subsequent lessons.
2 Creating additional test scripts that test your application’s functionality WinRunner writes scripts automatically when you record actions on your application, or you can program directly in Mercury Interactive’s Test Script Language (TSL).
3 Debugging the tests You debug the tests to check that they operate smoothly and without interruption.
