The recording wizard automatically starts Internet Explorer and configures it for recording.
The behavior of the recording wizard is controlled by recorder preferences. To inspect the current settings, go to Window > Preferences > Test > HTTP Proxy Recorder. This procedure assumes that the defaults are set.
Tests are stored inside Performance Test projects (Java projects that include a source folder). If no project exists in your workspace, the test creation wizard creates a Performance Test project, allowing you to change its name. If you want to store a test in a specific project, verify that it exists before beginning. For instructions on how to create Performance Test projects, see Creating a performance test project.
If one or more projects exist, the HTTP Proxy Recorder dialog box, shown below, opens with all projects listed. If no projects exist, a new project is created and a similar dialog box opens allowing you to change its name.
If the New menu does not display the Record Performance Test option, this indicates that you are not in the Test perspective. You can switch to the Test perspective or you can select File > New > Other > Test > Recording > Record Performance Test.
