Transforming binary data automatically

You can configure RPTv8 to automatically transform binary data in tests into more readable formats. Automatically transforming all binary data in a test can increase the time it takes to generate a test. The alternative to automatically transforming all binary data in a test is to transform data in a specific request.

To automatically transform binary data in a test:

1. Click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens.

2. Click Test > Test Generation.

3. Click Enable auto data transformations.

4. Select one of the available transformations, and then click OK. If you choose the Convert

   To Ascii Text transformation on a test containing readable data in a format other than ASCII, that data will become unreadable.

   For example, text in languages that use a double-byte character set will become unreadable.
