Recording HTTP tests
When you record a test, the
test creation wizard records your interactions with a web-based application,
generates a test from the recording, and opens the test for editing.
You can record tests from Internet Explorer (which is the default
on Windows) or from another
browser.
- Recording reliable HTTP tests
Follow these performance testing guidelines to ensure that you record a reliable HTTP test. - Configuring Internet Explorer for recording from a secure web site
You can suppress the security warning that Internet Explorer displays when you are recording from a secure web site. - Recording an HTTP test
The test creation wizard starts when you record a test. To record the test, a proxy recorder intercepts the HTTP traffic between the browser and the web server. You can record a test from Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or from another browser. - Preparing to record a test for the HTTP/2 protocol
To collect the performance data of an application that supports HTTP/2 protocol, record a test against the HTTP/2 application. Before recording the HTTP/2 application, follow the procedure in this topic to configure your computer. - Splitting an HTTP test during recording
You can insert split points when you record a test. With split points, you can generate multiple tests from a single recording that you can replay in a different order with a schedule. You can also create a schedule that contains all of the tests that are generated from the split points. - Returning a browser to its initial state if recording is interrupted
Browser options are changed during recording and are reset after recording is complete. If you interrupt recording, the browser stays in its changed state, and you may receive The page cannot be displayed messages. To fix this, reset the browser to its initial state. - Creating HTTP tests manually
The typical—and simplest—way to create a test is by recording it. However, you can also write a test from scratch. - Recording Adobe Flex content
You can record an HTTP session that contains traffic to and from a .swf Adobe Flex application. - Recording Microsoft Silverlight applications
To test the performance of an application that was developed by using Microsoft Silverlight, you can record the application. - Changing HTTP test generation preferences
You can change how performance tests are generated, such as how tests process verification points, data correlation, and pages. - Configuring the workbench for NTLMv2 authentication
