Replay and Record TrueLogs Overview

By comparing a TrueLog that has been generated during the script development process alongside the corresponding TrueLog was recorded originally, you can verify that the test script runs accurately.

With Web application testing, TrueLog Explorer shows the actual Web pages that are received during tests. Live monitoring of downloaded data is available via TrueLog Explorer animated mode. Data is displayed as it is received during testing.

For Web testing, TrueLog Explorer provides different views of sent and received data in the Content pane:
  • the Response tab: displays the received data either as rendered HTML, as pretty-formatted JSON, XML or in raw format. If the default display mode is not suitable, right-click the tab and select a different option.
  • the Differences tab: displays the differences between replay and record TrueLogs
  • the Request tab: displays posted data from pages that include user interface controls such as text entry fields.
Note: Windows displaying content presented during replay have green triangles in their upper left corners. Windows displaying content originally displayed during application recording have red triangles in their upper left corners.
Tip: If your analysis shows invalid session handling, click Customize Session Handling on the workflow bar.
Note: Multiple entry points and approaches are available for the comparison of TrueLogs. Replay TrueLogs do not necessarily need to be open in the replay menu tree and record TrueLogs do not necessarily need to be open in the record menu tree. Two TrueLogs can even be compared with one another. The procedure is the same for all TrueLog comparisons.
