Recording sequences

Starting a Recording

1. Open your browser and navigate to the application you want to test.

2. In Performance, click Record.

3. Choose the hostname you want to capture. You can record:

   • All URLs or

   • Hostname-only (recommended for cleaner recordings).

4. Click Start recording, then interact with your application (for example, refresh a page or submit a form).

5. Click Stop when finished to stop the recording.

Performance automatically lists each network request as a step. You can expand any step to view details such as:

• Request and response payloads

• Headers and parameters

• Timing metrics and status codes

Manually adding HTTP call

If you already have API requests defined, you can import them directly:

1. Right-click on an empty space inside a sequence

2. Click add HTTP call

3. Performance now adds an empty HTTP call for you to add:

   1. Method - choose between GET, POST, PUT and DELETE

   2. URL

   3. Expected request:

      1. Parameters

      2. Headers

      3. Host

      4. Cookies

   4. Expected reponse:

      1. Status code

      2. Cookies

Manually adding cURL

If you already have API requests defined as cURLs, you can import them directly:

1. Right-click on an empty space inside a sequence

2. Click Paste cURL as HTTP step

3. Paste a bash or CMD cURL command.

4. Performance automatically converts it into a structured HTTP step that can be edited, parameterized, and reused.

Previewing Your Recording

Click Preview to execute your sequence. Performance will:

• Run each recorded step.

• Display real-time execution progress with green indicators for success.

• Show per-step response times and results.

Once validated, rename your sequence for easy reference.
