Examining Error Log for Test Run
Settings
Click the Settings button
on the toolbar to adjust
WAPT global settings.
The program will use these settings for all test scenarios.
Playback proxy settings
By default, WAPT connects to tested server via
direct connection (without using the proxy server). Mark Use proxy server while performing the test
checkbox if it is necessary to use proxy server during test runs. Specified proxy settings are used only while WAPT is performing a
test run (play back a test scenario). For recording, WAPT uses actual proxy settings specified for Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
Use
Internet Explorer proxy settings:WAPT
will use current proxy settings of Internet Explorer for test runs.
When you start a new test, WAPT will define
current proxy configuration of Internet Explorer and start the test
using these settings.
Use custom proxy settings: If you click this button, you
should specify the certain proxy configuration that will be used for
all test runs.
Type: Select proxy server type (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 or
SOCKS5).
Server: Enter proxy server name.
Port: Enter proxy server port number.
Advanced..: Specify advanced proxy settings:
Use authentication: Mark this checkbox if proxy server requires
authentication. Enter username and password for proxy authentication.
WAPT will automatically define the type of authentication (basic
authentication or Integrated Windows authentication (NTLM)).
Bypass proxy server for local addresses: Mark this checkbox to bypass proxy server for local addresses during
test runs. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with: Enter addresses for which proxy server will be bypassed during
test runs. Addresses should be separated by semicolons.
Note that the usage of proxy server during test runs could lead to distortion of test results. We
recommend using proxy only in case it is really necessary, for example, if the tested server
is outside the firewall and there is no direct channel to tested
server, or if you wish to test the proxy server.
Default version of HTTP HTTP version: Select a version of HTTP that WAPT
should use by default (1.1 or 1.0).
Default version of SSL SSL version: Select a version of SSL that WAPT
should use by default (3.0 or 2.0).
Timeouts Maximum time of waiting for server response: It is response timeout.
You can change the default value of timeout. Maximum time of waiting for socket operation: It is socket timeout.
You can change the default value of timeout.
These are 2 different timeouts. Response timeout means that there are problems with the work of
web server; there may be no connectivity problems in this case.
Socket timeout means bad connectivity; it indicates that there are problems with data transfer
through the socket.
For example, if you have received only a part of response from the server and another part doesn't
come, then the socket will be closed as this timeout is reached.
Response and socket timeouts are global settings of the program.
WAPT will use these timeouts for all test runs.
Interface settings Show the prompt for Recorder: Shows the prompt dialog at switching
to Recorder. In this dialog, you should
specify whether WAPT will always start recording
when switching to Recorder or not.
Always start recording when switching to Recorder:
If you mark this checkbox,
WAPT will automatically start
recording URLs when you switch to Recorder.
If you do not
mark this checkbox, then you will need to click the Rec button
on the toolbar to start the recording process.
Show HTML report on test completion: Opens web browser
window with generated HTML Report
on test completion.
This report enables viewing test run results just from web browser currently installed on your
computer.
Redirection settings If HTTP redirect is received in response to a POST request do redirection
as: Usually such redirection is made as a GET request, so WAPT
uses GET method as default setting. However, you can select POST
option in the combo-box if you need to send a POST request in this
situation.
