Why do we need Correlation Studio?
Creating of correlation studio will be useful when there are
multiple scripts to be recorded (more than 2/3) on same or similar application.
Bulding correlation studio just for script is a waste of time.
How do we do it?
Record first script normally without any correlation and do
all correlations maually and import that vugen before recording the remaining
scripts. So that the remaining all scripts will be auto correlated when they
are recorded.
Detailed step by step decription
Step 1: Record first script and identify all
the required correlation patterns like variable, its left boundary abd right
boundary.
Step 2: Go to Recording Options in vugen, HTTP
Properties> Correlation and uncheck all the exsisting patterns.
Step 3: Click on New Application button
Step 4: Click on New Rule and enter Variable
name, Lift boundary, Right boundary and Where to search that pattern in the
response.
Action->Where to search for the pattern
Left boundary-> Left boundary of the variable that you
want to correlate
Right boundary-> Right boundary of the variable that you
want to correlate
Parameter Prefix-> Variable name(not mandatory)
Step 5: In the Same way you can add multiple
rules as required.
Step 6: After completion of adding all the
rules Click on Export button
Check the required Applications and again Click on Export.
You can give the name as you like and save it. File will be
of extention *.cor
Now the correlation studio is created successfully.
How to use the correlation studio?
Go to Vugen> Recording options > HTTP Properties>
Correlation
Click on Import button
And import the saved *.cor file (In our case it is
Trail.cor)
Click on Ok button, Start recording your script and you will
notice all predefined patterns are correlated automatically.
