what is the difference between the HTML and URL based
recording in load Runner?

Answer Posted / satish

HTML
Context Sensitive based script recording

HTML-Based / describing user actions is the easiest to maintain

For example, assume there is a link called "Continue" that
sends you to http://localhost/ index.html. Your script
records "Continue", and NOT the destination URL. So, if
sometime later your application developer decides to change
the URL associated with "Continue" to something else - like
http://localhost/ home.html, your script will still work
correctly - and go to "home".

LoadRunner parses the HTML it received from prior server
responses to determine what the full URL is behind the
Continue link(i.e. Context Senistive).

LoadRunner does as much work for you as it can, leaving you
with the fewest script statements to maintain.



URL:
No context would be considered during script recording,
every statement get recorded independently

Every thing would get recorded as URL only. i.e. web_url

In this case if URL based recording is used then script will
fail during replay.

URL mode records every URL that LoadRunner is supposed to
ask for –but without the actual parsing.

So, if a URL is there, LoadRunner simply calls it but does
not examine it for embedded URLs.

This allows(i.e. Not parsing embedded URLs) would make LR to
run very FAST.

But this type of script would become obsolete and you may
not even know it if some thing changes in the application
hence this is very much useful for a stable
