Introducing TruClient 2.0

TruClient 2.0 provides the next generation of TruClient for recording and developing Vuser scripts. Using an interactive recording and scripting mechanism, TruClient enables you to quickly and efficiently create scripts that emulate user actions, without extensive coding knowledge.

The TruClient 2.0 Development window provides a specialized, intuitive interface, enabling you to see your business-process steps as they are performed. When recording, the actions you perform trigger corresponding script steps in real time, generated by the TruClient engine. The script steps are presented graphically, in plain English (rather than lines of code, as in other protocols).

To streamline the creation and debug process, the TruClient engine provides advanced object identification technology, snapshots of the interactive steps, and suggests alternative automation steps.

You can modify and enhance the recorded script by editing the elements of a step, dragging and dropping steps to reorder them, and synchronizing steps. You can add standard VuGen functionality such as parameters and transactions. You can also integrate JavaScript code and API utilities for advanced customization.

Currently, the Development window is available in dark theme only.
