By default, a test case recorded against a website will test the same website. The Host remapping feature allows to re-target the host, which was used to record a test case, to a host which should be load tested. If you need to re-use a test case for another website, the host name or IP address and its port can be changed. For example, a test case originally recorded against a production server has to run against a test server.
Path remapping
The application path can also be remapped. For example, www.developlment.com/dev can remapped to www.production.com/prod
Port remapping allows recording a test case against the host listening on the port other than 80 (or 443 for HTTPS) and then target a different port during load tests. If the port is not specified, then HTTP will be used port 80 and for HTTPS will be used port 443
To configure host/port remapping, follow these steps:
Standalone version
1. In StresStimulus Main Menu -> Options -> Hosts/Content-Types, select Remap Hosts
2. The Host Remapping dialog will appear
3. Make sure that the Enable Host Remapping is checked
4. On every line, enter a new host and the original host, separated by at least one whitespace character; optionally add the new port and the original port to the host: {New Host}:{New Port}/{New Path} {Old Host}:{Old Port}/{Old Path}
Use host names or IP addresses. For example: 111.222.33.44:8888 testedwebsite.com
5. Click Save.
The host name can be in the form of full URL notation such as http://{host}:{port}/{path}
Add-on version:

2. The Host Remapping dialog will appear
3. Make sure that the Enable Host Remapping is checked;
4. On every line, enter a new host and the original host, separated by at least one whitespace character; optionally add the new port and the original port to the host: {New Host}:{New Port}/{New Path} {Old Host}:{Old Port}/{Old Path}
