Introduction
A transaction is defined as a set of actions the user performs in the
web application which has meaning in a business context. It could be as
simple as viewing a single page or as complicated as performing an entire
web transaction.
For example, in a web-based banking application,
A simple transaction can contain two steps, i.e.,
A complicated transaction can have multiple steps such
as
Creating/Recording
Transactions
To create a transaction, all you need to do is to record the URLs which
contain the set of user actions.
Follow the below given steps to do the same:
Click either New Transaction link or Add
Transaction to the Load Test link inside the load test screen.
The 'Add Transactions' dialog opens up. You can either create a new Transaction
or import a pre-defined transaction into the load test. If you choose
to create a new transaction, specify the name of the new transaction and
click the Create New button. For
example, enter "view_acct_balance" as transaction name.
Upon clicking 'Create
New' button, the Transaction recorder will start automatically within
5 seconds and the default browser will be launched. Specify a valid URL
in the address bar of the launched browser to start recording the transactions
(urls) in the Web application. For example, enter the Web application's
home url, choose login option, then choose view account balance and finally
choose logout.
To stop recording
events, click the Stop Record
button from the QEngine Toolbar. The transaction is by default saved in
<QEngine_Home>/projects/<Suite_Name>/webperfcases/<businesscase_name>
directory.
The newly created
transaction can be seen inside the load test screen.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 to create more transactions.
Importing Transactions
If you have any recorded transactions available in other load tests,
you can import them into a load test if required to avoid recording the
same transaction again. Click the Import
link adjacent to New Transaction link in the right panel of the load test
screen. The 'Add Transactions' dialog with the Import tab opens up. The
available transactions will be listed in the 'Available Transactions'
list box. Select the appropriate transaction from this list, specify a
new name for the transaction in the 'Import as' field and click 'Save
As' button to import the transaction
Editing Transactions
To edit a transaction, click the Transaction name listed under 'Transaction'
in the load test screen. This opens up the Transaction script screen.
Here you can manually edit the urls present in the transaction. You can
also insert comments into the script, change the think time, etc. The
'Record More' option launches the recorder again and lets you add more
urls to the transaction script.
Deleting Transactions
To delete a transaction, click the 
button under Action
in the load test screen.
