Overview

• Do you have a huge repository of WinRunner scripts developed over years of investment and effort?
• Are you excited by the new features in QTP, but worried about the migration downtime and distraction?
• Do you want to utilize QTP to cope with advances in your application development technologies?
• Are you finding it difficult to manage two different sets of tools and scripts for your Automation needs?
• Wish you could leverage your existing WinRunner setup and extend it in QTP?
• Want to spend your energies on the business need, not in tool migration?

The emergence of QuickTest Professional as HP's (formerly Mercury Interactive) leading next-generation automated testing solution, has introduced benefits in several dimensions for forward-thinking QA organizations. At the same time, it has also created a significant dilemma for those that have already made substantial investments in WinRunner platform - how to leverage investments and expertise in existing WinRunner platform and seamlessly migrate to the new platform while ensuring business-as-usual for the QA organization.

Manually migrating WinRunner to QuickTest Pro is non-trivial and error prone due to the differences in object identification models, programming paradigms and tool architectures.

Gallop's WinQuick© platform provides the solution. WinQuick is an automated Comprehensive Migration Platform (CMP) that provides a knowledge-driven environment where all WinRunner to QuickTest Professional (QTP) migration activities are configured, executed and recorded. It is built based on a wealth of experience from architecting and implementing several migration projects by Gallop. It provides a high quality, cost efficient and fast migration path for those HP customers who want to take advantage of the benefits of QTP, but have too much time, money, and infrastructure invested in their WinRunner code.

WinQuick delivers clean and maintainable code that uses structures, idioms, libraries, conventions and components of the target QTP environment. Migrated code does not have any dependency on TSL and looks native to the target environment. WinQuick consists of artifacts to perform architectural tweaks, language level translations and object identification migration and provides a huge repository of additional WinRunner equivalent functionality and libraries. Where there are alternative migration options available, WinQuick provides an ability to configure the migration according to the client's preferences.

When there are idioms and usage methods in the WinRunner code base that are difficult to map to the target platform, Gallop's experienced architects work with your team in evaluating alternatives. This yields a more manageable and reliable migration process that is not otherwise possible.
