Module for Adobe® Flash® testing
Flash-based web applications created with help of Adobe Flex use a special method for client-server communication. It is based on sending AMF (Action Message Format) messages with binary data. These messages are embedded into regular HTTP requests, so WAPT can record and replay such tests.
However WAPT cannot modify the content of an AMF message to insert any dynamically changing data same way it modifies the parameters of regular requests. This problem is resolved by a special Module for Adobe Flash testing. It is installed separately on the system where the workplace component of the product is used.
The module automatically integrates with the product and enables it to display AMF messages on the request properties and response processing tabs. Since such messages contain hierarchic data structures, they can be represented either by tree-like objects (similar to a tree of disk folders) or XML documents. WAPT provides both representations. You can select a tree node and see an XML document representing its content.
You can edit the value of any tree leaf and the whole XML document for any tree node. It is also possible to use WAPT internal variables to insert session-dependent values here. As a result when the profile is executed, the values of these variables will be passed inside the corresponding AMF message.
Responses to AMF requests also contain AMF messages. The processing of such responses is based on the same principle as the processing of a regular HTML page. You may need to extract some data contained inside the message to a variable in order to use that variable in the subsequent requests. This is done with help of the standard XPath function. In the simplest case this function returns the value of a node inside an XML document using the path to that node.
You can use logs to browse the results of execution of a profile containing AMF messages. Both the request and server response are shown as XML documents. A special difference viewer will let you easily compare the content of the current message with the originally recorded one.
