WAPT Pro can automatically search for dynamic data during recording.
On the Parameterization tab of program settings you can specify the search options.
There are 2 ways of search for dynamic data in WAPT Pro.
1. Search for strings between specified boundaries
If you know that some dynamic value is always surrounded by
the certain strings on the left and on the right, you can specify those strings and organize the search.
For example, you know that session IDs on your site are always placed
between the same delimiters: "SessionID=" on the left, and "&" on the right.
To organize the search, you should check the option "Search for strings between specified boundaries"
and specify the boundaries. In this example,
the left boundary is "SessionID=" and the right boundary is "&".
2. Extract to variables values of hidden fields in HTML forms
If you know that dynamic data on your site is kept mainly in the hidden fields of HTML code,
you should check the option "Extract to variables values of hidden fields in HTML forms".
Then the program will look through all hidden fields of HTML pages
during recording to find the dynamic data there.
If WAPT Pro finds
dynamic values in responses during recording, it automatically creates the
corresponding variables.
Variables are further used to calculate values of parameters in subsequent requests
and also correct URL paths of subsequent requests depending on page content.
This feature considerably simplifies the design of tests for pages with dynamic content.
For details, see the topic
Automatic Parameterization of Requests.
