You can insert split points when you record a test. Split
points allow you to generate multiple tests from a single recording
that you can replay in a different order with a schedule.
Procedure
To split a test during recording:
- Start recording the test. The Recorder Test Annotations toolbar
opens near the top of the screen.
- To insert a split point into the recorded test, click the Split point button. . The Insert
Split Point window is displayed.
- Type a name for this section of the test and click OK.
You are naming the previous section of the test, not the upcoming
section of the test. Repeat this step between recorded
user actions as needed to split tests.
- After you finish performing the user tasks in the client
program, stop the recorder. You can do this by closing the client
program or by clicking the Stop button in the Recorder
Control view. If you changed the network settings
of the client program as described in step 8, you can revert them
to the default settings before closing the program. The Generate
Service Test wizard opens.
- On the Destination page, specify the
location for the split test or merge the split recordings together:
- In Location, click Browse to
specify the folder where the split tests are generated.
- Type a Test prefix that will be appended
to the name of each split test. Leave blank if you do not want the
split test names to have a prefix.
- In the split test list, mark the split tests that you want to
generate. Click Select All to generate all
split tests or Unselect All to clear the list.
- To merge several split tests into a single test, multi-select
the tests that you want to merge by holding the Shift key
and click the Merge button.
