Recording a Load Test

Hello,



    I was trying to record an HTTP Load Test (Task) using TestComplete Ver. 6.5?? and Fierefox 3.0.19.

    I was having trouble getting the Recorder to reconize the Buttons and Links. After I finished the recording it only showed one connection and a download.



    It has been a long time sence I did anything with the HTTP Load Testing. I have followed the directions both in my Class Book and the On-Line Help.



    Any suggestions?

  • Hi Doug,


    Load testing and functional testing of web pages are two different things. The HTTP Load Testing feature is not supposed to recognize any buttons - it works with HTTP requests. If you need TestComplete to work with visual objects displayed in your browser and simulate user actions, you need to use the approach described in the "Web Testing" ( http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle.aspx?aid=2576 ) help topic.
