HTML Mode:
Default and recommended recording mode.
Records HTML action in the context of the current Web page so that all we see on a web page will be recorded in a single function which makes it easier to read.
Advantage of this mode is that it generates a script that is intuitive to the reader in terms of what is the form requesting (in a form of entire web page).
Best for browser applications.
URL Mode:
Instructs VuGen to record all requests and resources from the server. It automatically records every HTTP resource as URL steps.
Generates a script that has all known resources downloaded for your viewing which works good with non-HTML applications such as applets and non-browser applications (e.g. Win32 executables).
Having everything together creates another problem of overwhelming low-level information and making the script unintuitive. Difficult to read.
When there are unrecognizable requests made to the server in Web (HTTP/HTML) protocol, they are recorded as web_custom_request. However, in URL-mode, this can be selected to allow recording to default to web_custom_request.
GUI Mode:
Introduced with Web (Click & Script) protocol.
GUI-mode option instructs VuGen to record all editable fields in an object or non-browser applications. What it does is to detect the fields that have been edited and generate the scripts accordingly.
Concept similar to functional testing when objects are detected at theGUI-level. When reading the script, it allows easier reading as the script is based on the GUI presented to the real user. Easier to read in context of the object.
Best for applets and non-browser applications.
