Request Properties
Request Properties
All requests of user profile are displayed in Navigation Pane - in Initial,
Main or Final folders (test
sequences).
The properties specified for current profile are used for all its requests.
However, you can change some of these properties for individual
requests.
Click on any request in Navigation Pane and its properties will be displayed
in the right pane on the Properties tab.
Name:
Here you can change page name. For example, instead of default names
page_1, page_2, you can type names with the certain meaning (for example,
"Login", "Catalog", "Forum" etc).
Server: Here you can modify server name and port number.
Secure: Mark this checkbox if you wish to test pages that require SSL connection.
URL address of such pages will start with https://.
URI:
You can use either recorded URI, or get it dynamically at run-time. To get URI dynamically, you
should use variables. First, you will need to
define variables, and then
click the Use Variable... button and
in the displayed dialog, select desired variable.
Method: Select GET or POST request method.
When GET method is used, parameters are transmitted in page request string.
When POST method is used, parameters are transmitted implicitly (they are not specified in
page request string).
Encoding: Here you can select another encoding that will be used during test runs
for request parameters containing text strings.
You will need this option for testing multilingual web sites.
When WAPT records a page, it uses the
encoding specified in Internet Explorer options.
During test runs, WAPT uses the encoding selected in
Encoding combo-box.
Default encoding here corresponds to the default locale in your
Regional Options (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Regional Options).
However, you can select any other encoding for your requests, and
it will be used during test runs.
User
think time: This option is enabled only in case you have chosen the
option As in request for user think time in properties of current
profile. In other cases (Disable
or Random from range options of user profile), you won't be able
to modify delays for individual requests.
Specify 2 values: minimum and maximum values of delay. Then the delay for current page request
will be taken from the specified range at random. You can set some constant delay: for this,
specify equal limits of range.
Parameters:WAPT provides you with a number of functions
for dynamic calculation
of request parameter values at run-time. The resulted value can be also
calculated as the concatenation of results of some functions. See Advanced
Tasks for detailed description of functions and functions editor.
