Define non-critical resources

You can define resources used in your test to be non-critical, so that the test can replay successfully even when actions performed on these resources fail. For example, an image or a Java applet that failed to download may not be critical to your business process.

Resource classification

The classification of a resource as critical or non-critical depends on the value of the Resource attribute in the function, as described below.

If Resource is specified:

• Resource = 0: The resource is always critical.
• Resource = 1: The resource is always non-critical.

If Resource is not specified:

• If Method is not Get: The resource is always critical.

• If Method is Get:

  RecContentType is omitted	RecContentType is text/html	RecContentType is not text/html
  Critical	Critical	Not critical
