what is the difference between the HTML and URL based
recording in load Runner?
Answer Posted / shaswat
HTML(Context Sensitive)
is usually preferred for several reasons. One of the
reasons is because it is "context sensitive" , i.e.each
mouse click
recorded in the script is made in the context of the
previous step/page. In order to maintain context it looks
through the
previous page to make sure the current operation is
available. This adds extra overhead because it is
performed by a
background utility called the runtime parser. Although
the parser uses extra overhead, it does saves us work in
correlation and page checks. This because if a link/request
is not available, the runtime parser will see that and
throw
an error telling us that the request is not there. (The
old "Requested Form Not Found" error). URL mode, on the
other
hand does not check the context of the previous request.
It will simply make each recorded request individually
regardless
of whether the request is still available on the page or
logically follows in context. That's why URL mode requires
more in
the way of page checks and correlation.
