Step 8 - Record the Test Case

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Next to start recording.

    As the window shows, the recorder is listening on port 8001 to the target port 8080. The window also shows a session and transaction count. Because the test case has not been run, the count is at 0. When the test case finishes running, this window has three transactions that are counted.

  2. In DevTest Workstation, click the test case tab, open the ITR, and execute the steps automatically.
  3. Navigate to the recorder and verify that the three transactions were successfully recorded.

    With the test case recorded, you can end the recording session by clicking Next. DevTest processes the recording and presents a list of transactions. For more advanced virtual service transactions, modify the post-recording model and data on the next window. For our test case, we are ready to continue, so click Next.

    On the next window, the base path, binding, and logic settings are correct.

  4. Click Next.

    The next window indicates that a Web Services (SOAP) data protocol handler has been selected for the request side.

  5. Leave this selection unchanged, and click Next.
  6. Make no changes on the next window and click Enter.

    DevTest processes the recording a final time and creates the virtual service model and the virtual service image files.

    You can open and edit each of these files in DevTest Workstation.

  7. To see the virtual service model and virtual service image files, select the Open the service image and Open the generated virtual service model check boxes.
  8. Click Finish.

    DevTest closes the recorder and opens the selected files in DevTest Workstation.

  9. Continue with "Step 9 - Deploy the VSM".
