Creating tests from HTTP Archive files
To migrate your tests from another tool to IBM® Rational® Performance Tester, you can export tests in the HTTP Archive (.har) file format and then import or copy the HTTP Archive files to IBM® Rational® Performance Tester. You can then create test scripts from the HTTP Archive files.
About this task
Depending on the tool that you use to export tests to the HTTP Archive format, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, for example, do not save enough information to reflect exactly what happened on each connections. The tool exports the contents, HTTP requests and responses, timings, but connections and SSL information is not exported. Use a tool such as Fiddler2 that exports enough information about tests.
When you import or copy an HTTP Archive file, the product displays a message if the Archive file does not contain enough information to generate the test.
