Update a User Path

With the User Path Update wizard, NeoLoad helps you maintain your test scripts quickly and accurately from a release to the next.

The purpose of the User Path Update wizard is to:

• Help you see if a new recording needs to be updated based on a previous User Path

• Accelerate the design of a User Path when the User Path of the previous version of the application is available for reference

Updating a User Path enables you to merge the original User Path with a newer recording. It automatically creates a backup copy of the original User Path.

The User Path Update wizard is accessible from two locations:

• at the end of a recording (this is useful when you want to update an existing User Path with the recording you just finished). For more information, see the procedure below.

• with a right-click on the User Path you want to update with the Advanced > Update with a recent recording command (this is useful when you already have a recording that you want to use to update an existing User Path). For more information, see Context menu.

For more information, see User Path Update.

To update a User Path with a new recording, follow these steps:

1. In the Start Recording dialog, check the New recording of option and select the User Path you want to update.

   

2. In the Record in field, select the Container into which the visited pages are to be recorded.

   Note: The Transaction editable dropdown list of the Recording bar will be automatically populated with Transactions of the User Path you want to update.

3. Configure the rest of your recording as explained in Create a User Path.

4. Click OK.

The Recording bar is displayed.
