Comparing TCP/IP and UDP Record and Replay TrueLogs

When a TCP/IP and UDP replay TrueLog is compared alongside a corresponding record TrueLog and the dynamics of the protocols are uncovered, those dynamics must be customized for future test runs otherwise session-relevant data will be passed along during tests and errors will result. To customize the dynamics of these protocols, TrueLog Explorer offers TCP/IP and UDP recording rules.

Note: Automatic session handling customization is not available for TCP/IP and UDP based applications. Dynamic BDL parsing functions must be coded manually via Silk Performer.
  1. In compare mode, open a TCP/IP or UDP replay TrueLog and the corresponding record TrueLog.
  2. Click the Response tab.
    Note: Difference tables are not enabled for binary content, so the Differences page is not available.
  3. Click Step through TrueLog. The Step Through TrueLog dialog box opens.
  4. Click the API calls option button. The TrueLog API calls with the recorded responses are displayed alongside the corresponding replay responses. Those differences that indicate that dynamics are included in the test script must be customized via Silk Performer recording rules.
