Performance Tester records representative interactions with an application and generates tests from the recordings.
Test creation overview
Performance Tester records sessions with an HTTP application and generates tests from the recordings.Creating a performance test project
Performance test projects are containers for performance tests.Recording a test
When you start the recorder, a test creation wizard combines into a single flow these actions: the recording of a session with a Web application, the generation of a test from the recording, and the opening of the test in the test editor. You can record tests from Internet Explorer (the default on Windows, which is automatically started and configured) or from another browser.Generating a new test from a recorded session
Should you accidentally damage a test during editing, you can create a new test from the recorded session.Creating an empty test
You can create an empty template for a test that you plan to write manually. Note, however, that recording is the normal and recommended way to create a new test.Copying a project to another workspace
You can export performance test projects and their contents from a workspace and import them into another workspace on the same or a different computer. Doing this allows testers to collaborate in the absence of a source control system.
