Thanks for posting your question RonaldJ.

The query strings are appended to a URL reference in any browser command that results in a navigation. The information in the query string tells the server key facts that the user wants the server to know and act upon.

When eValid makes a recording, the navigation commands like FollowLink or GotoLink include the information in the query strings that was put their by the browser.

To modify them for a new test you will have to either (a) edit the test script file manually to include your specific changes, or (b) set the test up so that various strings in the query-string are are parameterized.

Here is an example of parameterization of values in the query string, in this case used to drive a LoadTest scenario:

Note also that this manual page shows you the rules that apply when inserting various special characters in the query string.
