CONVERT Converts the Page Scanner Result into a “normal” Web Surfing Session .prxdat, creating a load test program for additional ZebraTester actions.

  • Click Convert and Save when ready.

  • Optionally display the newly converted session in the Main Menu.

Filename

The filename of the web surfing session. You must enter a "simple" filename with no path and no file extension. The file extension is always .prxdat. The file will be saved in the selected Project Navigator directory.

Web Pages

Selects the scanned web pages which should flow into the web surfing session. “All Pages” means that all scanned web pages are set. Alternatively, the option “Page Ranges” allows you to select one or several ranges of page numbers. If you use several ranges, they must be separated by commas.

Example: "1, 3-5, 7, 38-81"

Max. URL Calls:

Limits the number of URL calls that should flow into the web surfing session. 
Tip: Apica recommends not converting more than 1,000 URL calls into a web surfing session.

Annotation

Section/Form

Screenshot

The most important statistical data about the scan are shown in the summary/overview, near the window's top. Below the overview, select the various scan result details you want to retain/find/filter.

On the right side near the scan result detail selection, the search form allows you to search for an ASCII text fragment overall web pages of the scan result.

Image Added

By default, the text fragment is searched for within all HTTP request headers, all HTTP response headers, and all HTTP response content data.

Image Removed

The Remove URLs form, shown below the scan result detail selection, allows you to remove specific URLs from the scan result. The set of removed URLs is selected by the received MIME-type (examples: IMAGE/GIF, APPLICATION/PDF, ..), and linked with a logical AND condition with the received HTTP status code for the URLs (200, 302, ..), or with a Page Scanner error code, such as "network connection failed"

with content MIME-type

selects a specific MIME type). The input field is case insensitive (upper and lower case characters will be processed as identical).

  • any means that all MIME types are selected, independent of their value. 

  • none means that only URL calls whose HTTP response headers do NOT contain MIME type information (HTTP response header field "Content-Type" not set) will be selected.

HTTP status code

selects an HTTP status code or a Page Scanner error code.

Note: A few URLs with excluded content types may flow into the scan result (not selected by scan input parameter). You can use the "remove URL" form to clean up the scan result and remove unwanted URLs. The most common case is to remove PDF documents from the scan result.

Analytics Filters

The Scan Input Parameter displays all input parameters for the scan (without authentication data).

Scan Statistic displays some additional statistical data about the scan.

Similar Web Pages are Pages are the number of web pages with duplicate content (same content but different URL path). Failed URL Calls are  Failed URL Calls are the number of URL calls which failed, such that no HTTP status code was available (no response received from a web server), or that the received HTTP status was an error code (400..599).

Non-Processed Web Servers displays a summary of all web servers found in hyperlinks but whose web pages or page elements have not been scanned.

The number before the server name shows the number of times Page Scanner ignored the hyperlink.

Scan Result per Web Page: displays all scanned web pages. A web page's embedded content, such as images, is always displayed in a Web Browser Cached View. For example, this can mean that a particular (unique) image is only shown once inside the web page in which it has been referenced for the first time. All subsequent web pages will not show the same embedded content. This behavior is more or less equal to what a web browser does - it caches duplicate references over all the web pages within a web surfing session.

URL Detail

More details about a specific URL call can be shown by clicking on the corresponding URL hyperlink.

In this example, we clicked in on one of the above URLs https://www.apicasystems.com/feed/, and we see the server 200 OK Response and the MIME type, the HTTP Request and Response Headers, and the Response Content.

Info

Note the option to download the Response Content if needed.

 Broken Links displays a list of all broken hyperlinks.

Duplicated Content displays a list of URLs with duplicate content (same content but different URL path).

or

Largest Web Pages displays a list of the largest web pages.

Tip: Click on any of the bars for the Scan Result per Web Page Details

Slowest Web Pages display a list of the slowest web pages.
