How does WinRunner recognize objects on the application?..

Answer / preeeety

WinRunner uses the GUI Map file to recognize objects on the
application. When WinRunner runs a test, it uses the GUI map
to locate objects. It reads an object?s description in the
GUI map and then looks for an object with the same
properties in the application being tested.

How does WinRunner recognize objects on the application?..

Answer / sheetal

win runner identifies objects in two ways:

1)Recording mode:

application-->physical description-->logical name-->script

-in recording mode, tool captures physical description of
an object from application, then it is assigned with
logical name,(physical description and logical names are
present in GUI map editor)which appears in script.

2)Playing mode:

script-->logical name-->physical description-->application

-here it is exact opposite to recording mode, at playing
time tool reads logical name from script,and matches it
with physical description of object which should be present
in application.

In my application I was supposed to test two columns.The first column1 belongs to one module and the other column2 belongs to other module.The content in both the columns is same.I supposed to check whether the data present in the column1 is same as the one in column2. Each column contains number of rows.So checking each row manually is diificult.Is there any option available in WinRunner or QTP to check the column data.These two columns are available in Data Base Tables. One way is that I can just number of rows in each column so that I can get rows count of both the columns,but apart from that I was supposed to check whether the data is also same in both the tables. Can anybody suggest me how I can go about this.
