Use the test editor to modify or expand a test.
Test editor overview
The test editor lists by title a test's HTTP pages that, when expanded, show the request and response data in each page.Providing tests with variable data
You can produce more realistic tests by modifying 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.Correlating response and request data in a test
Correct test execution often depends upon issuing a server request which uses a value that was returned by a previous request. Ensuring accurate correlation produces better performance tests.Testing Siebel applications
The test recorder, generator, and editor detect Siebel applications and generate appropriate tests.Adding verification points to a test
Verification points confirm whether a request generated the expected response, such as a page title or return code.Adding elements to a test
You can add if/else conditions, loops, transaction blocks, custom Java code, and empty page, page request, or authentication templates to a test.Extending tests with custom Java code
You can add custom testing features to a test by writing custom Java code and calling the code from the test. Custom code can use existing references in the test as input and can output modified values to the test. If your custom code logs results with the Rational Performance Tester logging interface, they will be included in the product's reports.Searching a test
You can quickly locate values of interest inside specified test elements by searching.Viewing a test in the Protocol Data view
The Protocol Data view displays test content as standard HTML data.
