Merging socket send and receive elements
With the Organize wizard, you can
merge consecutive send or receive elements that use the same connection
to improve the clarity of your socket test.
Splitting a socket test
After you record a test, you can split it into smaller
tests. Splitting tests enables you to create modular building blocks
of smaller tests and combine them to make bigger tests. The original
test is unchanged. You can recombine these building blocks in a schedule,
including loops and conditions.
Using custom code to specify an end policy
You can write a custom Java™ class
to specify when a socket receive element stops receiving. This offers
the most flexibility, but requires that you write your own Java class using the Rational® Performance Tester extension API.
Using custom code to manipulate data
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.
