Subramanya,

You can start debugging the web performance tests by referring to:

• Web Test Authoring and Debugging Techniques for Visual Studio 2010
• Web Test Authoring and Debugging Techniques

-Tejas.

Answer 2

Hi Subramanya,

Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

I think Tejas’s reply is useful, what about this problem now?

1. (On the web test toolbar, a button called "Promote Dynamic Parameters...")  This process will find data which change from run to run and attempt to fix up your test to deal with it at runtime.
2. Web sites that set hidden field values in javascript can sometimes cause the Web Test Recorder to not be able to identify hidden fields being used. If so, you can use the tool Fiddler to record a web test to check it.
3. If still no help,  you will want to check out the blogs post which talks about debugging the web test issues:
