What is the use of rapid test script wizard?


Sometimes it may happen that you may require test cases within shortest period of time possible may be because you have a dead line to cover up for delivering some results or you have got to do some adhoc testing of the software system or application or you may have to complete creating your GUI map file as quickly as possible. 

Whatever the reason you may be having, the rapid test script wizard helps you well in all such situation. The rapid test script wizard is another quite a helpful tool from the winrunner for a quick creation of many automated tests as well as GUI maps. And because of this ability of this tool, it has been named as the “rapid test script wizard”

What is a rapid test script wizard and what is its use?

- More than a software, the rapid test script wizard is more like a tool. 
- It is a tool that helps in making your complex and lengthy tasks simpler and shorter. 
- The first step of the rapid test script wizard is to gather information and details from you about the creation of the GUI map files and automated tests in a series of steps.
- After having gathered all the necessary and sufficient relevant data, the wizard proceeds further in its work. 
- Information is gathered from the user in form of some questions displayed on a series of pages. 
- Once the user has answered all of these questions the rapid test script wizard creates the required product based up on the answers that the user provided it. 
The tasks that can be performed by rapid test script wizard are:
  1. Automatic learning of the all the GUI objects that are present in the application.
  2. Saving these GUI objects in to a GUI map file.
  3. Creating 3 types of tests.
- A full suite of basic test cases is created by the rapid test script wizard based up on whatever it has learned regarding the graphical user interface of the software system and application. 
- The rapid test script wizard has ultimately cut down the requirement of the testers for the creation of test suites one at a time. 
- This, the rapid test script wizard does by walking through the application software itself and by subjecting the test scripts to reverse engineering taking them directly from the application software. 
- Not only the GUI, but also the rapid test script wizard learns about all the windows and objects that form a part of the software system or application. 
The paid test script wizard holds good for the client server application. 
- There are some cases in which the winrunner fails to learn about the graphical user interface of the application software. 
- In such cases, with the help of rapid test the winrunner can be made to learn the GUI objects present in the application software. 
- In rapid test script wizard, the application window is shown to the winrunner and the test scripts are recorded and stored in a temporary folder. 
- This is to be done before subjecting the software system or application to any other type of testing. 
- This is so because if this is not done then there are chances that while running the tests, the software system or application may crash or hang. 
- The windows in the application software are opened up one by one in a systematic way by the rapid test script wizard. 
- One thing that should be noted is that this tool i.e., the rapid test script wizard is not available in the winrunner advance mode i.e., in the GUI map file per test mode.
