We can copy and move objects between different GUI Map files using the GUI
Map Editor. The steps to be followed are:
How do you clear a GUI map files?
We can clear a GUI Map file using the “
Clear All”
option in the GUI Map Editor.
How do you filter the objects in the GUI map?
GUI Map Editor has a Filter option. This provides for filtering with 3
different types of options.
- Logical name displays only objects with the specified logical
name.
- Physical description displays only objects matching the
specified physical description. Use any substring belonging to the
physical description.
- Class displays only objects of the specified class, such as all
the push buttons.
What is the purpose of GUI map configuration?
GUI Map configuration is used to map a custom object to a standard
object.
How do you make the configuration and mappings permanent?
The mapping and the configuration you set are valid only for the current
WinRunner session. To make the mapping and the configuration permanent,
you must add configuration statements to your startup test script
Winrunner Question 37: What is the purpose of GUI spy?
Using the GUI Spy, you can view the properties of any GUI object on
your desktop. You use the Spy pointer to point to an object, and the
GUI Spy displays the properties and their values in the GUI Spy
dialog box. You can choose to view all the properties of an object,
or only the selected set of properties that WinRunner learns.
Winrunner Question 38: What is the purpose of
obligatory and optional properties of the objects?
For each class, WinRunner learns a set of default properties. Each
default property is classified “
obligatory” or “
optional”.
- An obligatory property is always learned
(if it exists).
- An optional property is used only if the
obligatory properties do not provide unique identification of an
object. These optional properties are stored in a list.
WinRunner selects the minimum number of properties from this
list that are necessary to identify the object. It begins with
the first property in the list, and continues, if necessary, to
add properties to the description until it obtains unique
identification for the object.
Winrunner Question 39: When the optional
properties are learned?
When the optional properties are learned?
An optional property is used only if the obligatory properties do
not provide unique identification of an object.
Winrunner Question 40: What is the purpose of
location indicator and index indicator in GUI map configuration?
In cases where the obligatory and optional properties do not
uniquely identify an object, WinRunner uses a selector to
differentiate between them. Two types of selectors are available:
- A location selector uses the spatial
position of objects.
The location selector uses the spatial order of objects within the
window, from the top left to the bottom right corners, to
differentiate among objects with the same description.
- An index selector uses a unique number to
identify the object in a window.
The index selector uses numbers assigned at the time of creation of
objects to identify the object in a window. Use this selector if the
location of objects with the same description may change within a
window.
