Download Replay a Testcase

A: The embedded browser uses the default browser for the platform - on the Windows platform, the default
browser is IE. Therefore, if your site returns content that is optimized for different browsers, the content displayed by the embedded browser (IE) will be the content that was optimized for the browser used during
recording, e.g. Netscape. The only solutions are: 1) record with IE, and 2) ignore the differences and errors
in the embedded Web Page viewer.
Q: Why do all these Security Alert messages appear when I am recording or inspecting a testcase?
A: Because Web Performance products use "fake" server certificates during the recording process in order
to decrypt secure pages from the server. See these instructions to silence the warnings.
Q: How do I record a site that uses Client Certificates?
A: See the Client Certificates section and the Authentication section.
Q: My browser is not recognized. Can I record testcases with it?
A: Yes, if the browser supports HTTP/S proxies. See the Manual Browser Configuration FAQ (next question).
Q: How do I configure the browser manually for recording?
A: Follow these three steps:
1. Manually configure the ports that Analyzer will use for recording so that they will not change each time
Analyzer starts. See the General Settings page for more help.
2. Configure Analyzer to start a custom browser when recording is started (Browsers section of the Preferences page). A custom browser may need to be configured if the browser was not automatically
detected. Then the browser configuration should be set as the default browser. See the Browser Settings page for details.
3. Configure the browser to use Analyzer's recording ports as a proxy. This step is dependent on your
browser - see the browser documentation for more information.
Q: I have URLs in my testcase from a server that I do not wish to test.
A: If the URLs are not important to the testcase (such as images or links for link tracking, click analysis etc),
they can be deleted from the testcase using the Cut item in the pop-up menu for the transaction. These
URLs can be added to the URL blocking list - see the Blocking Undesired Transactions section of the manual.
If all the URLs for a particular server (host name) should be ignored, you can use the Host name blocking
list, also described in the Blocking Undesired Transactions section.
