Drop down list

[Guest MartinG]

Hello,

 

I evaluating WaptPro and my acutal problem is that I can record the input of the websolution of our project but when I try to rerun the test on every usage of a drop down list I get a failure message from our web solution. Is there a tutorial existing what I have to change for using drop down list on web sites with WaptPro? Or can someone give me discription?

Most probably the problems appear because you have not parameterized the HTTP requests in your profile after recording it. Note that initially all requests are recorded as is. If you use a recorded profile without modifications, WAPT will simply repeat all the same requests with the same values of all parameters. However when working with dynamic site content, some parameters should have unique values for each session. The values of such parameters should be extracted from server response to the previous requests. You can read more about that using the following two links.

(Note: The above links refer to WAPT Pro 2.0. If you use other version of the product, some GUI elements can be different, but the whole concept is the same. You can also find corresponding topics in the help file provided with your product.)

 

We also have a demo clip showing step by step how to perform the parameterization. You can download it here: http://www.loadtestingtool.com/quickstart/WAPTdemo.avi

Also, I recommend you to use the "Verify test" button to check your profiles before running the test. It will execute each profile one time and log all the details. After the verification is finished you can expand the "Logs" folder in the left view. You will see all the requests and server responses logged during the profile execution. You can also use logs for test runs, but you need to choose the level of details on the “Log and Report Settings” page.

 

Note also that when you record a profile, you should start from the very first URL that you use to access the web site. If you start recording from a page inside a user session, your profile will be incomplete and will not produce a valid session during the test.

 

If you still cannot find the reason of the problem, please send your profile (.wpp file) and log file with the test verification data to support. To save logs right click on the Logs folder and choose "Save Logs" from the menu.
