You can write a custom Java™ class
to manipulate data in a send element. This offers flexibility for
injecting data in test, but requires that you write your own Java class using the Rational® Performance Tester extension API.
Before you begin
In some cases, complex methods of generating data are required
to send specific content to the server. This can be done by manipulating
data with custom code.
Procedure
To create a new custom code class:
- In the test editor, select a socket send element.
- Select Manipulate data with custom code and
click Generate Code. This
creates a Java class template
that follows the Rational Performance
Tester extension API. The Java class
in created in the src folder of the current project.
- Write the custom code by extending the generating class.
See Extending test execution with custom code for
more information about extending Rational Performance
Tester with Java code.
- Save the custom code and the test. You can click View
Code to edit the Java class
later.
