JSFlight

Tools to record user's activity and replay it later. The project's main goal is to store major user events in a browser (mouse clicks, key presses) and them reproduce them using Selenium WebDriver. Besides it can store HttpRequests on server-side and convert them to a JMeter Scenario to replay it later.

Recording concepts

Browser recording

• You should add some JS to a host page to record browsers events
• Injected code will add some event handlers (you can easily configure what events should be recorded and what are not)
• Event handlers store their data in browser's session store
• Data from browser's session store is to be sent to the server with some period of time (Default period is 5 seconds)
• javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet on server side decides what to do with data it received

Server-Side recording

• There is base class to be used to build a custom javax.servlet.Filter
• The filter will record any http request to urls it has been mapped to
• Of course you can add some special app's internal events to the recording. For example to monitor a production environment (or to get more data to replay user load more accurate)
