Besides Record and Replay what else can we do with
WinRunner?

Answer Posted / ak

You can not always rely on Record and replay, for proper
working of your scripts and testing the different
applications, you have to customize your scripts using
different functionalities :
- using variables (instead of hard cord values)
- using different Check Points
- using data tables
- using database
- using regular expressions (both in scripts and GUI files)
- creating functions (to reduce the repeation of the code,
required basic coding knowledge)
- error checks and logging etc.
In real scenarios you have to use all these things along
with your coding skills to make your scripts effective, use
recording only for learning purpose.

Good Luck!
