Overview

CTP's "create from traffic" functionality allows rapid creation of parameterized virtual assets from recorded HTTP/S, JMS, or MQ traffic—reducing the time and effort involved in defining complex responses. It also facilitates the editing and extension of data so data captured in one environment (e.g., functional testing) can be easily reused in others (e.g., performance testing, development, security testing, etc.).

...

• Virtualize 9.10 or higher connected to CTP (see Integrating Virtualize Server and/-or SOAtest Server with CTP for details).
• A supported traffic file stored under the recorded_traffic folder on the Virtualize server where you want to create the virtual assets. Acceptable formats include:
  • Logs produced by Virtualize message proxies or recording proxies (see Configuring Message Proxies for details).
  • Message traces or logs captured at the network level using network sniffing tools.
  • HTTP logs obtained by having your application log its traffic.
• A Parasoft Data Repository Server running and connected to CTP (see Test Data Assistant Setup for details).

...

• A Message Responder with parameterized elements as well as preconfigured responder correlation and data source correlation.
• (For new data repositories) A new Data Repository with applicable data sets and record types. One data set will be added per message "group" identified by analyzing the traffic.
• (For existing data repositories) New data sets and record types will be added to the existing repository.
• A repository data source will be added for each added data set and the Message Responder will be configured to use this data source.
