Ignoring recorded fwait values on playback
Allow on Playback of the recorded script the capability to ignore any fwait values without running the workload in stress mode. We understand the purpose of the fwait, but would prefer the default of 0.00 to be used without having to modify every fwait that has a value greater than 0.

transactions/sec per user type
Overview report's Summary tables section provides transaction count and throughput (1/sec, 1/min, 1/h) on a global level.
It can be useful to get this information for each user type. This information should preferably computed not based on each "sub-transaction" but on complete business transactions executed by VUs.IE,:
transactions
TInit : begin;
T1 : 1;
T2 : 2;
TEnd : end;Trans/sec should be based on count of complete loop executed (T1+T2+T2=1 business transaction)

Ability to do extractions/parameterization from recorded true log in SilkPerformer
Currently, SilkPerformer can not do extractions/parameterization from recorded true log. In LoadRunner, there is no need to run any replay before user can start extracting or adding text checks to the script. All of these can be done from the log captured during recording. Even when the script is changed and updated, the synchronization of the recorded log and the script is still maintained without any need to run Try Script.
Advantages of the described approach for the customers scenario will enhance SilPerformer's usability.

"apply to all instances" when using the TrueLog Customize Value option
From the TrueLog, you have the ability to right-click and use the Customize Value option. This option allows you to customize data and pull the data from a file. However, you have to manually do this for all occurrences of the data within the script. We would like to see a checkbox to "apply change to all instances" within the script. This saves the user from having find each occurrence and make the same exact change throughout the entire script.

.Net Explorer doesn't support for passing optional parameters to C# methods
Currently Silk Performer 9.0 doesn't support passing optional parameters to C# methods. When I call methods without optional parameters, it throws exception "Missing Method" and when I pass all parameters it works fine. I strongly recommend Micro Focus to implement this feature.

Allow browser driven to record silverlight applications
Allow browser driven projects to record silverlight applications. We are seeing more of these types of applications, and would be nice to be able to record them and do performance testing on them.

ip spoofing with BDLT
It would be nice if SILK PERFORMER would support ip spooing in the Browser Driven Load Test mode, as it currently will not support this presently. Given how much more we are using the BDLT mode as opposed to HTML/HTTP, this would certainly be a nice to have feature.
