Batch Tests

Batch Test: Imagine that you have revised your application and you want to run old test scripts on the revised product. Instead of running each test individually, by using a batch test you can run any number of tests,leave for lunch, and when you get back,see the results of all your tests on your screens. A batch test looks and behaves like a regular test script, expect for two main differences:

1. It contains Call statement, which open other tests.

During a test run, WinRunner interprets a Call statement, and then open and runs the "called" test. When the called test is done, WinRunner returns to the batch test and continues the run.

2.You choose the Run in Batch Mode option on the Run tab of the General Options dialog box (Settings > General Options) before running the test. This option instructs WinRunner to suppress messages that would otherwise interrupt the test. For example, if WinRunner detects a bitmap mismatch,it does not prompt you to pause the test run.When your review the results of a batch test run, you can see the overall results of the batch test (Pass or Fail),as well as the results of each test called by the batch test.
