Hi AlexKaras,
it does partially, but changing from from actually requires (in my case), all 3 mentioned steps.
However, I encountered following issues:
- This is pretty much work because I need to switch between servers frequently. So I actually I am more looking for a more mature way to switch between servers. Like parameterizing your test frame with a variable, so that by only changing the value of the parameter on 1 place that will change the tested server.
- There is an issue with working with the Host list in combination with variables. It is currently not supported (at least I don't know of), to use a variable as part of a substring. Therefore it is not possible to add portnumbers to a variable hostname. Like, for example, entering '@hostname:123' (no quotes), meaning 123 as the portnumber is not supported. The application I need to test uses multiple port numbers (so multiple entries in the Host list) so not able to use variables since I have to specify portnumbers.
Do you have any tips to make it more conventient to switch between tested server? Do you agree with me that these are point for improvement of LoadComplete?
Hi Mathijs,
> Do you agree with me that these are point for improvement of LoadComplete?
I agree that this may be a point for improvement. Especially in your case, when you need to generate requests to the same server but using several ports. (There is an opinion that this is not the best approach from the security point of view as it increases the surface available for the attack, but this is another problem.)
It is possible in LoadComplete to concatenate several variables and assign concatenated value to another variable, but as far as I know, this works only for request parameterization (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/LoadComplete-Feature-Requests/Make-it-possible-to-concatenate-the-values-of-two-variables-into/idi-p/98223#comments).
