WinRunner offers organizations a powerful tool for enterprise-wide functional and regression testing. The solution is a component of Mercury Interactive’s Optane suite—a comprehensive set of tools for testing and application performance management (APM) that provide the only integrated solution for business technology optimization (BTO).
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Simplifies Creation of Test Scripts: WinRunner’s
DataDriver Wizard greatly simplifies the process
of preparing test data and scripts. This allows
for optimal use of QA resources and results in
more thorough testing.
• Automatically Identifies Discrepancies in Data:
WinRunner examines and compares expected
and actual results using multiple verifications
for text, GUI, bitmaps, URLs and databases.
This ensures stable functionality and execution
of business transactions when the application
is released into production.
• Validates Applications Across Browsers:
WinRunner enables the same test to be used
to validate applications in Internet Explorer,
Netscape and AOL. This saves testing time and
reduces the number of scripts that must be
developed and maintained.
• Automatically Recovers Tested Applications from a
Crash: Unexpected events, errors and application
crashes during a test run can disrupt the
testing process and distort results. WinRunner’s
Recovery Manager enables unattended recovery
and provides a wizard that guides the process
of defining a recovery scenario.
• Leverages Investments in Other Testing Tools:
WinRunner fully integrates with Mercury
Interactive’s other testing solutions, including
LoadRunner for load testing and TestDirector
for global test management. Moreover, organizations
can reuse WinRunner test scripts with
QuickTest Professional.
For most part QTP has replaced WinRunner as the main tool for functional testing. Still some tutorials and materials on WinRunner are provided for reference.
