Editing a VSM

A Virtual Service Image recording creates a Virtual Service Model (VSM) with six steps or eight steps, depending on the option chosen (More Flexible or More Efficient). Sometimes you would like to edit the VSM by editing generated steps or adding more steps.

You can skip this section unless you must edit a VSM or you must create a VSM without a recorder.

A VSM is a specialized test case and therefore editing or creating a VSM is similar to editing or creating a test case. Many types of steps can be added to a VSM. You can add a step that does not appear in this menu; however, some other step types can make a VSM undeployable.

Access the menu of step types from the VSM Editor by selecting Add a new step, Virtual Service Environment from the menu.
