1 . HTML based - High level recording and easy to debug.

2. URL b'ased - Low level recording and quite. difficult to debug

due' to' lengthy script.

Vu·Gen Recording Options

1. Aft.er setting the Recording Options, click OK to start recordinq,

2. Browser will la unch, load ing the URL specified.

3. It is important to understand the business process steps and required data before storrinq to record. This reduces mistokss and, the need to re-record a business process.

Running Vuser Script in VuGen

The goal is to:

1. Test the script with one Vuser to verify the basic functional ity ~

2. Configure the Run-Time settings to ensure the correct dote, th ink times and pacing is used.

3. Ensure the script plays back for multiple iterations.

4. Enhance the Vuser script with Porometers, T ronscctions, end business process verification checks.

5. Perform a "sanity check" before the script is assigned in the BPM to ensure there are no errors.

Note: It is strongly recommended to re-run the script after any modifications or enhancements to verify the integrity of the script.

What is a LoadRunner Transaction?

A LoadRunner T ronscction:

1. Is a measurement of the round-trip time between the client req uest a nd server res.ponse

2. Can be added During or After recording

3. Can be nested to measure a complete business process as well as steps within' a business process

4., Does not measure the time spent rendering a screen on the User Interface

About Automatic Correlation After Recording

To work correctly, automatic correlation requires at Least one playback

Web pages captured during playback are compared to Web pages captured during recording El

After playback, use the built-in Scan for Correlati oris tool tC)1 correlate
