The Silk Performer self-learning Recorder is adept at supporting applications that rely heavily on client-side scripting. Equipped with advanced context management techniques, the recorder is able to generate Web scripts that maintain page context even when page requests are executed via JavaScript functions.
Maintaining page context means that Web pages are requested in the context of the links or submit forms that call them. Such context-full Web page request functions reference Web pages via their links or form names rather than simply by their URLs. To do this, Silk Performer parses through Web-server traffic for links for form submissions to identify the pages that called the content.
