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

In this topic:

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.
