Editing Siebel tests

Tests for Siebel applications differ slightly in appearance from standard HTTP tests and there are a few additional features.

The primary differences between a Siebel test and a standard HTTP test are in how dynamic data is stored and substituted during test execution:

Siebel variables are stored in a proprietary data structure called a star array. A star array stores both strings and their length in hexadecimal (length_string) or integer (length*string). Siebel substituters know how to substitute data and recompute the length. You can choose to substitute from a value in a star array (highlight a length_string or length*string format value, right-click and click Substitute From). If you do, a dialog prompts whether you want a Siebel or a standard HTTP substitution:

With rare exceptions, you should choose Siebel data correlation.

Siebel tests are organized inside the test editor much like standard HTTP tests, but there are some page differences:
