Recording Options

Recording Options:
Shortcut (Ctrl + F7)

1. Recording mode :

We do have two modes in HTTP/HTML protocol
1) HTML Mode
2) URL Mode

HTML Mode: Generates a separate step for every user action even you can record non HTML
resouces.
HTML Advanced: Using advanced techniques, you can record web_submit_form or
web_submit_data/
Usually we will use web_submit_data along with record within script.
Advantages:
 Easy to understand the script.
 Easy to maintain the script.
 Very less number of lines of code.
 Generate script for HTML and non HTML resources.
 Script never fails for non HTML resources. If any one of non HTML resource is not
available, it will throw a warning like resource unavailable HTTP status code 403.

URL Mode:
Records not only user actions, even it records server side resources too. It will
generate web_custom_request and web_url.
 You can find huge number of lines of code.
 It’s very difficult to maintain the script.
 It will record non HTML resources in the form of concurrent groups.
 URL mode prefers for non-browser specific applications.
If any one of non HTML resource is not available or failed to download, the same script will be
aborted by throwing an error.
If application having java script files, prefer to use URL mode.

2. Script:
Script option will allow you to generate the auto think time, limits number of lines in a script.

3. Protocols:
Displays opted/chosen protocol.

4. Code generation:
Allow you to conduct auto scan for dynamic values.

5. Configuration:
Dealing with only auto correlation by specifying record scan, replay scan, rules scan, correlation
function, min and max length of dynamic value.

6. Rules or Correlation Studio (till 11.0):
We can create our own rules for common dynamic values. Those rules will be used across the
project.
Step 1: Create new application.
Step 2: Create new rule by providing LB, RB, param.
Note: We have to select boundary based scan type
Step 3: Test the rule.
Step 4: You can export the rule by clicking export button.
Step 5: You can import the rule by clicking import button.
Note: Correlation rule extension is “.cor”

7. Advanced:
We can generate auto text verification function using this option.
We can generate auto headers.

8. Mapping and Filtering:
Q: I am recording a business scenario but I failed to record the events.
Solution:
If you failed to launch the application, then change the DEP (Data Execution Prevention) settings
in my computer properties.
My Computer
Properties
Advanced System Settings
Advanced Performance Settings
DEP
Choose turn on DEP for all programs.
