Recording a Context Sensitive Test

In this exercise you will create a script that tests the process of opening an order in the Flight Reservation application. You will create the script by recording in Context Sensitive mode.

1 Start WinRunner.
If WinRunner is not already open, choose Programs > WinRunner > WinRunner on the Start menu.

2 Open a new test.
If the Welcome window is open, click the New Test button. Otherwise, choose File > New. A new test window opens in WinRunner.

3 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. The name you type must be at least four characters long.

Position the Flight Reservation application and WinRunner so that they are both clearly visible on your desktop.

4 Start recording in Context Sensitive mode.
In WinRunner, choose Create > Record—Context Sensitive or click the Record button on the toolbar. From this point on, WinRunner records all mouse clicks and keyboard input. Note that the text, "Rec" appears in blue above the recording button. This indicates that you are recording in Context Sensitive mode. The status bar also informs you of your current recording mode.

5 Open order #3.
In the Flight Reservation application, choose File > Open Order. In the Open Order dialog box, select the Order No. check box. Type 3 in the adjacent box, and click OK. Watch how WinRunner generates a test script in the test window as you work.

6 Stop recording.
In WinRunner, choose Create > Stop Recording or click the Stop button on the toolbar.

7 Save the test.
Choose File > Save or click the Save button on the toolbar. Save the test as lesson3 in a convenient location on your hard drive. Click Save to close the Save Test dialog box.
