How to Filter Scripts?
- Now, right click the Test Plan >> Add >> Threads (Users) >> Thread Group
- Now, copy & paste the recoded scripts into the newly created Thread Group.
Note: Thread group is used to Execute the recorded script
- To filter and to monitor the script activity status, we need to add View Tree Listener by right clicking on Thread Group >> Add >> Listener >> View Results Tree
- Now, click Start Icon on the menu bar.
- You will get an initial output on the Tree Listener. Now, based on the results using RegExp Tester search for Aura Token from top to bottom clicking the scripts manually in the View Results Tree Listener.
- Once you have identified the Aura Token Rename the Http Request scripts, it will help us to sort the script effectively.
- Now, add a regular Expression to the identified Http Request, by giving a unique variable name.
- In this Example, I have identified two Tokens; one is in the Home Page and other one is on the Lead Home Page. So, I have added two Regular expressions with the variable name aura0 and aura1.
- Now, replace the Aura token value to variable name for all Http requests
1.In-between aura0 to aura1 replace the value to aura0
2.After aura1 Regular Expression, replace the value to aura1
Level 4.0:
Identify the Lead creation area, sort the script finer, and view the result on the Salesforce Lead Object:
- Sort and identify the lead creation area.
Note: Salesforce Lighting scripts are something different from Salesforce Classic scripts.
- Copy and paste the message values to a notepad and customize the values based on your requirement.
- Now, replace the edited values to the message box and save the operation.
- To make the script refined and most effective for testing purpose, disable the current Thread – Create a New Thread as Main and move the sorted main scripts from the Trial Thread Group to Main Thread Group.
- Now, you can run the Main Thread Group and check the final output on the Salesforce Lead Object (One Lead Record will get created with the customized value)
Pro Tips:
- If your requirement is to create more than one record on a single run, you Just change the Number of Threads Users value in the Thread Group, or you can use Loop Controller to handle a specific area.
- Handling Aura Token is more important in Lightning Scripts to generate an output. If you fail to identify your token values, you no need to worry – just take a break and restart your recording from the scratch.
- Add Http Header, Cookie and Cache Manager before start recording the script.
