However, it is out of date, with the 20 World End Web application technology prevalence, WinRunner appears to be powerless. So 2003 Mercury Company developed new product QuickTest, and then WinRunner retired to second-tier. Mercury was acquired by HP in 2006, and now WinRunner has disappeared from the HP product family. A generation of stars has fallen, but its market is not extinct, and there are still many companies at home and abroad to use it for automated testing, its C language script also determines its IT system in the bottom and embedded areas of the powerful convenience.

The Rational Robot Tool is the oldest automated test tool in this set of tools. It is strong in the ability to do functional testing, but also can be combined with testmanager performance testing, so there are sqabasic and vu two scripting languages. At the end of 20th century, the world of automated testing was presented by Mercury WinRunner, Rational Robot and Segue SilkTest three pillars. However, the situation of the world changes, when the human civilization into the 21st century, "a long time will be combined, a long time will be divided" historical law again staged. In 2002, IBM announced the acquisition of rational, a full range of rational products with DB2, WebSphere, Lotus, Tivoli and other IBM Software PRODUCT families (of course, IBM subsequently acquired other IT companies). Now rational robot is similar to WinRunner, but IBM still sells it, after all, Robot has a long history of WinRunner and a wide market. Then Rup, UML, the legend of these times, wisdom of the classics gradually less people, in the new XP, agile Halo seems to be eclipsed.
