Web Performance Test

Question

As I know, we can debug our Unit Test or Coded UI Test through add breakpoint to the code and then start debug them step by step. But in Web Performance Test, it records all requests in the Recorder, which are all URLs in the Web Test Editor. How can I debug the Web Performance Test that similar with the Unit Test and Coded UI Test?

Hi TiNaaNiT1991,

According to your description, you want to debug your Web Performance Test with the similar steps for Unit Test and Coded UI Test. But as you said, Web Performance Test is different with Unit Test and Coded UI Test. It is recorded the requests and then playback these requests.

There has another way to debug our Web Performance Test, which is different with the Unit Test and Coded UI Test. Please refer to following blog which introduce how to debug a Web Test. Hope that can help you.

A web performance test can be converted to a code-based script that you can edit and customize like any other source code.
