Edit tests

After you record a test, you can edit it to include datapools (to provide variable data rather than the data that you recorded), verification points (to confirm that the test runs as expected), and data correlation (to ensure that returned data is appropriate for the corresponding request). You can also add protocol-specific elements to a test. When you edit a test, the modified items appear in italic type. The italic type changes to regular type after you save the test.

• Add test elements
  You can add a variety of elements to a test, such as transaction blocks, IF-THEN conditions, loops, and comments.
• Edit Kerberos tests
  You can change the Kerberos realm, user name, and password when editing tests.
• Search within tests
  Search request data or response content by right-clicking in the data or content and selecting Find. To search for specific element types and to display the results in a table, click Select. For a still more powerful search and replace, use the Test Search function.
• Disable portions of a test or schedule
  You can disable portions of a test or a schedule. You can still see the disabled portion, but it is not executed during a run.
• Run test elements in random order
  You can record multiple user scenarios in a test and then run each scenario in a random order. To do this, you put each scenario under a random selector and then select the proportion of time that the scenario should be run.
• Rename test assets
  As the test assets increase and become more complex, you might want to rename them. Use the Eclipse Rename function or save the assets under a different name.
• Delete test assets
  As the test assets grow and become more complicated, you might want to delete the assets that you no longer use.
• Datapools
  You can produce more realistic tests by changing them to use datapools. During execution, a test that uses a datapool replaces a value in the recorded test with variable test data stored in the datapool. This substitution allows each virtual user to generate a different request to the server.
• Test variables
  A test variable is a user-defined name-value pair that stores and refers to information throughout a test and between tests.
• Data transformation
  You can transform application specific data such as binary data and encoded data to a more readable format to use data correlation.
• Correlate response and request data
  For a test to run correctly, a request sent to a server might need to use a value that was returned by a previous request. By ensuring that this data is correlated accurately, you can produce better performance tests.
