Profile Properties
Profile Properties
Click on any profile in Navigation Pane and its properties will be displayed in the
right pane. Here you can view and modify profile properties.
Name:
Here you can change the name of current user profile.
Filename:
Here you can specify another file where the current profile will be saved
to.
Iterations:
The number of iterations determines how many times a virtual user will
execute the main test sequence.
You can specify an interval between iterations (in seconds).
User
think time: During the recording process, WAPT
records delays between pages. Delays are used in tests to simulate user
think time. This adds more reality to your tests.
Disable: The program will not use delays between requests.
As
in request: The program will use delay values specified in request
properties. You will be able to specify delay values for individual
requests. Random from range: Delay values will be taken from the
specified range at random. Enter limits of range. You can set
equal delays for all pages: for this, specify equal limits of
range.
Simulate
user connection speed
Selection of user connection speed adds more reality to your tests.
Select typical web user connection speed in Simulate user connection
speed combo-box.
Load images
This checkbox is identical to Show pictures checkbox in advanced
Internet Explorer options. If you clear Load images checkbox,
then pages will be loaded without images, so they will be loaded faster.
However, the load on the tested server will be inadequate in this
case: it will correspond to situation when all users switch off pictures
showing.
Keep alive
If this option is checked, the directive "Connection: Keep Alive"
will be included in the header of each HTTP request.
Ignore errors
This option defines how to process errors. If it is unchecked, then
in case of error, test sequence will be aborted. (Note that not the
whole test will be aborted, but the current iteration. The next iteration
will be started.) If this option is checked, then test sequence will
be continued regardless of an error. If an error occurs, the next
page in the sequence will be loaded.
Basic authentication WAPT supports all security features related
to basic authentication. You can provide the list of usernames/passwords
for basic authentication: click the Users & Passwords...
button.
Add: Adds a new string to the list of usernames/passwords.
You can specify desired credentials in this string. Remove: Removes selected username/password from the list. Import..: Imports usernames/passwords from a text file. In
the displayed dialog, you should specify desired text file. Each string
of this file should consist of username and password separated by
tabulator sign, for example:
Integrated Windows authentication WAPT supports all security features related
to Integrated Windows authentication (NTLM). You can provide the list
of usernames/passwords as in the case of basic authentication.
Besides, WAPT supports form-based authentication
via request parameters, for
example, you include a username and password to the request. You can also
test pages that require SSL connections. URL address of such pages will
start with https://.
Use IP spoofing
You can set up multiple IP addresses
on your test computer and then use several IP addresses during tests to
emulate page requests coming from multiple computers. This feature is
called IP spoofing.
Click the IP Address List... button and you will see the list
of IP addresses available on your system.
Click on the checkbox of any address in the list to check/uncheck
it.
Select All: Selects all IP addresses in the list. Select None: None of IP addresses will be selected.
If you select several addresses in the list, WAPT
will use selected addresses at random.
Use persistent cookies WAPT supports both session and persistent
cookies. You can provide different persistent cookies for different
users. Click the Cookies... button to specify cookie values.
Add: Adds a new string to the list of cookies. You should
enter virtual user's number and his cookie/cookies. For each cookie,
you should specify its name and value: <name>=<value>.
You can enter several cookies separated by semicolons for the same
user. Remove: Removes selected string with virtual user's number
and his cookies from the list. Import..: Imports cookies from a text file. In the displayed
dialog, you should specify desired text file. Each string of this
file should consist of virtual user's number and his cookie separated
by tabulator sign. You can enter several cookies separated by semicolons
for the same user, for example:
Default HTTP headers
Click the Default HTTP headers... button to edit custom strings
in HTTP headers of page requests. The specified header will be used as
default for all requests of current user profile. However, you will be
able to change HTTP header for any request in request
properties.
Add: Adds a new custom string to the list. Specify string name
and value. Remove: Removes selected custom string from the list.
User-Agent: Enables to select the type of browser for your
test. Select desired browser from the combo-box.
Add "X-Forwarded-For" HTTP header: Toggles the use of additional
fields in HTTP header for imitating different users working through
a proxy server. It is useful to emulate page requests coming from
multiple computers.
Use mask: Enables to specify IP address mask used in
proxy emulation. $C1 - low byte of virtual user's number; $C2 - high byte of virtual user's number; $R1 - low byte of iteration number; $R2 - high byte of iteration number.
All values span from 1 to 254. To emulate page requests coming
from unique IPs set the mask to: $C2.$C1.$R2.$R1.
Obviously if the amount of page requests exceeds 64262, $Rx values
will be repeated. You can use a static value instead of $C2 if
the amount of virtual users is lower than 253. WAPT default proxy mask is 192.168.$C2.$C1.
For example, for the first virtual user the directive X-Forwarded-For:
192.168.0.1 will appear in the HTTP header.
Use the list of IP addresses: Enables to specify the
list of IP addresses. Click the IP Addresses... button.
In the displayed dialog, enter desired addresses.
Add: Adds a new string to the list of addresses. Specify
there desired IP address. Remove: Removes selected address from the list.
The properties specified for current user profile will be used for all
its requests. However, you will be able to change specific user think
time and HTTP headers for each request on the Properties
tab of this request.
All requests of current profile are displayed in Navigation Pane -
in Initial, Main or Final folders.
Name:
Here you can change the name of current user profile.
