Service Icons
A Service
icon represents a step that does not make any changes in the web
application context. Rather, service steps perform customization tasks such as
setting proxies, submitting authorization information, and issuing customized
headers. Service steps in a Vuser script override any run-time settings that are set
for the script. For details on the run-time settings, see Chapter 20,
Configuring
Web Run-Time Settings
.
You can insert service steps into a Vuser script after recording. All service steps
are represented by the service icon. Each service icon represents a service
function. QuickTest records only a subset of the service functions. You can either
manually program them into a script, or use the function generator inside QuickTest
to generate the functions and insert them into the script. For a list of service
functions, see
Service Functions
on page 324.
