Graphs for Individual Pages
Recording a Virtual User
User profile consists of web pages which will be requested by virtual users of this profile.
To add pages to the profile, you can record the real activity in browser.
This can be done
using WAPTRecorder.
This tool records your actions as you navigate through a web site and then reproduces these steps
during test run.
WAPTRecorder is a window of Microsoft® Internet Explorer browser.
Click on Recorder tab of user profile to switch to Recorder.
When you switch to Recorder, you will see a prompt dialog asking you
whether the program should always start recording when switching to
Recorder or not. Click Yes if you want to set WAPT
to start recording automatically always when you switch to Recorder
tab. Otherwise, you will need to click the Rec button
on the toolbar to start recording.
Then you will need to specify a profile for recording.
Use
existing profile: Select desired profile from the combo-box. Create
a new profile: Enter a new profile name and click OK. A newly
created profile will appear in Navigation Pane.
Type the first URL to be recorded to the program Address bar and press Enter. As you navigate
through a web site, WAPT records the steps of your activity in browser. These steps are the basis of
your test. During test run, WAPT virtual users
will navigate to tested site and perform each step as originally recorded in the
sequence of page requests.
All recorded pages will be added to the Main test sequence of selected user profile
(they will appear in the Main folder of Navigation Pane).
If you start recording already having some URLs included in the Main sequence,
recorded URLs will be appended to the end of this sequence.
When the desired sequence of page requests is formed, you should stop
the recording process. Click the Stop Rec button
on the toolbar.
Now you can edit options of individual requests so that they would completely
satisfy your testing goals. Click on any request in Navigation Pane. Its
properties will be displayed
in the right pane. Here you can view and modify request properties.
You can add page URLs and requests for resources (images, scripts
and so on) manually. For this, click on Initial, Main
or Final folder (test
sequence) in Navigation Pane and then click New -> Request...
on the program toolbar. A new request will be added to selected test
sequence. It will appear in Navigation Pane.
To add a new request, you can also right-click on Initial, Main
or Final folder of any profile and select New Request on
the context menu. A new request will be added to selected test sequence.
