Expected Codes Panel

To determine whether a request was simulated successfully, LoadComplete compares the response code received from the server during the test run against the expected response code the scenario specifies. If the response codes differ, LoadComplete posts a warning to the test log.

In the Expected Codes panel of the operation editor, you can configure how LoadComplete will treat this or that response code: Warning, Error or OK (success). For example, you can command LoadComplete to treat the response code 307 for the request as an error (307 - Temporary Redirect).

LoadComplete uses the panel for these operations:

• Scenario (a top-level node in a scenario)
• Request (HTTP requests)
• WebSocket Connection (a request that establishes a WebSocket connection is a regular HTTP request that includes WebSocket-specific data.)

In the Request operation editor, you can change the panel’s location within the editor as your needs dictate. See Docking.

Expected codes you set for the Scenario operation will be applied to all requests in the scenario.
