The Testcase Editor is used to view details of the testcase and the replays of the testcase. The Testcase Editor initially presents the test case as a tree of web pages, URLs. Opening the page (click the '+') will display the additional resources requested for the page (images, style sheets, etc.). When a new testcase is recorded, a Testcase Editor window is opened and displays the transactions as they are recorded. The Testcase Editor can also display comparisons between the viewed content and a replay (or the original if a replay is viewed).
Type icon: An icon
indicating the type of resource for this URL. There are icons for web
pages (
), text files (
), images (
), forwards (
) and errors (
).
Title: A logical name for the item. For web pages, the title will be extracted from the document. For other resources, a best-guess will be made, such as a filename. If the same resource appears multiple times, the titles will be numbered to avoid confusion.
Size: the size of the item (in bytes). For web pages, this is the total size of all items in the page.
Duration: the amount of time taken to load the item. For web pages, this is the total time taken to load all items on the page. The format is MM:SS:mmm (minutes, seconds, milliseconds).
Status: the HTTP code received in the response from the server.
SSL: displays a
locked icon (
) if the transaction is with a secure site.
URL: the URL of the item, preceded by an icon representing the type of item (e.g. text, graphics).
Performance Goal
warnings: If a performance goal failed for an item in the testcase, a
warning icon (
) is displayed at the beginning of the column.
Placing the mouse over the icon shows the cause of the performance warning.
Replay list: displays the replays that have been performed for this testcase. See the Replay selection section, below, for more details.
Editor menu: the pull down menu at the upper right corner of the Testcase Editor panel can be used to select comparisons, configure the testcase for replay, open charts, and modify the visible table columns.

The Testcase Editor's table allows the user to sort the information in each column by either clicking on the column header or selecting the sort button on the toolbar and choosing which column to sort. Clicking the column header a second time or selecting the same column to sort reverses the sort direction. On the first sort, the title and URL columns are sorted alphabetically, the status column is sorted lowest to highest, and the duration and size columns are sorted highest to lowest. When a column is sorted, the transactions within each page are also sorted according to the sort selection.
To return to the original view of the
testcase, select the Restore recorded
order selection at the end of the menu.
All of the Web Pages in a Testcase can be expanded to show all Transactions in the Testcase Editor by selecting the Expand button on the toolbar. The Web Pages in the Testcase Editor can be collapsed to show only the main Web Page by selecting the Collapse button on the toolbar.
