Usage

From Scratch

If you need a good starting point please see the HAR converter bellow. But you can start from scratch by running the following:

frames-simulator-tool -c -d test1

this will create an empty directory with the right structure to start from. See Simulator Tool to extra options.

From HAR

HAR (HTTP Archive) is a file format used by several http session tools to export the captured data. The format is basically a JSON object with a particular field distribution. In any case, please note that not all the fields are mandatory, and many times some information won't be saved to the file.

In any case you can get a capture of a HTTP session in any of the main 3 browsers: IE, Firefox and Chrome, even though we recommend Chrome or Firefox+Firebug.

Converting HAR file to a Simulator Session:

frames-simulator-tool -d test1 -h chrome_session.har
> found 207 entries
> found 6 service post calls
> found 3 views get calls
