Hi, Can anyone please guide me whats exact difference bet Web HTTP/HTML and web Click and script protocol. Also I need to know when exactly to prefer Click and script protocol..
 
Click and script is a high level script which does not depend on each call in the protocol, while HTTP/HTML records each call in the protocol. I would use click and scrip whenever possible.
 
If your app supports Firefox, use the new TruClient protocol in Vugen 11 patch 003. It basically is was what CnS should have been the first time around and plenty more if the apis were as open back then. Keep in mind that on a semi beefy box for playback you'll get maybe 50-125 users if you push it versus http/html at about 1200 vusers on a big box or more.
 
Now which is better one. Web HTTP/HTML protocol or Web Click and Script protocol.? Also Zohar can you please tell me what is that you mean by each call in protocol? Is it the Request to the Server?
 
Really the BETTER question is which protocol makes more sense to use for your situation. If you have zero correllation skills then use TrueClient and Firefox.. If you need to do more custom stuff or need to fake say some web services calls then http/html proto might work for you. Click N Script worked okay for very basic stuff and as long as you didn't have any activeX to deal with in your app. That's why we could never really use it back then. Now with TrueClient for the apps we have that support Firefox it's well extremely simple to learn and use at the expense of lower vuser per injector ratio.
