Web Checks (Use web_reg_find with SaveCount and if statements to validate)
web_reg_find("Text=Welcome", "SaveCount=Welcome_Count", LAST );
web_submit_form("login.pl", "Snapshot=t2.inf", ITEMDATA, "Name=username",
Value=jojo", ENDITEM, "Name=password", "Value=bean", ENDITEM,
"Name=login.x", "Value=35", ENDITEM, "Name=login.y", "Value=14", ENDITEM,
LAST );
Tips
Enable full extended logging in vugen to help identify items to correlate.
Show progress of transactions with lr_vuser_status_message
Enable Expert mode in Controller to allow further configuration
Set VUGen logging to Log on error and set it to 100k to capture max data
Consider enabling Extended logging and capturing parameter data during scenario execution.
Create separate uniquely named actions in scripts for init and end actions to avoid aggregation.
Name Actions, Transactions, Scenario, Results and Analysis to match test case for traceability.

if (atoi(lr_eval_string("{Welcome_Count}")) > 0){ lr_output_message("Log on successful.");

} else{ lr_error_message("Log on failed"); return(0); } LOADRUNNER TESTING CHEAT SHEET (version 1.0 - 26/02/2020)
