Build a Business Transaction after recording

This section details the steps involved in creating a Container (business transaction) relating to the previous sections.

• To build a business transaction after recording

1. Select the Design mode: Click on the Design button.
2. Select the Virtual Users tab.
3. Add a Virtual User Container:
   • Adding a Container to a Virtual User.
   • In the Virtual Users pane, select the last page in the Virtual User (/jpetstore/shop/newOrder.shtml_1) then right-click on the page. In the contextual menu, select Insert after, then Container.
   • Select the pages to add to the Container, then drag and drop the pages in the Container. You can select multiple pages by using a left click while holding the CTRL or SHIFT keys down.

In this tutorial you may have added the Container as the last element of the Virtual User. You may have added to the contents of the Container the three HTML pages included in the order interaction:

• /jpetstore/shop/newOrderForm.shtml : contains the payment details and the billing address information,
• /jpetstore/shop/newOrder.shtml: sums up order information and prompts the user for the confirmation,
• /jpetstore/shop/newOrder.shtml_1: presents the order confirmation.

You know that the interaction involved by these three pages includes possibly time consuming processing such as account verification and order submission. This is where having fine grained results on a particular Container will become useful.
