Select a recording method for mobile applications
The VuGen mobile protocols expand VuGen's capability to record user activity on mobile applications, both native A mobile application, such as a new service, where the application resides on the device, but communicates with the server at various intervals. and browser-based
A browser-based application that has been configured for the display of the mobile device.. With these protocols you can:
- Simulate users working on mobile devices
- Create scripts based on the recordings of mobile devices or emulators
Web HTTP/HTML
A protocol enabling you to develop scripts using mobile devices or mobile device emulators communicating with servers over HTTP. You can record network traffic into a capture file (PCAP file) and then use the PCAP file to create a Vuser script. Additionally, you can use a mobile emulator on your VuGen machine to develop your scripts. For more information, see Web - HTTP/HTML for mobile.
TruClient - Native Mobile
A protocol enabling you to record user activity in native, browser-based, or hybrid mobile applications using TruClient technology. The replay is performed on real devices, allowing you to obtain client-side measurements and test end-to-end performance. This method requires the installation of Digital Lab. For details, see TruClient - Native Mobile protocol.
Use if your client application is either:
-
Native, browser-based
-
Hybrid
TruClient - Mobile Web
A protocol enabling you to record user activity in browser-based mobile applications using TruClient technology. The TruClient browser is modified to emulate the display of your mobile browser. For details, see TruClient - Mobile Web protocol.
Use if your client application is a browser-based mobile version of a website and supports Firefox.
Caution: TruClient - Mobile Web protocol will be deprecated in a coming version of VuGen. We recommend using a different protocol instead.
SMP (SAP Mobile Platform)
A protocol enabling you to create .NET based scripts using files generated by SMP. For details, see SMP protocol.
Use if your client application is built on SMP (SAP Mobile Platform).
