Getting started with Performance Studio

From a recording to your first load test — build, run, read the report.

# Getting started with Performance Studio Performance Studio turns a recorded journey into a load test with full reporting. ## The flow 1. **Record** a journey (Chrome extension or cloud recorder) — or import a JMX, HAR or Postman collection. 2. **Build** a test: set concurrent users, duration, and the data each virtual user uses. 3. **Run** it — Studio provisions cloud load generators and drives your journey under load. 4. **Read** the report: per-transaction response times, errors, pass/fail against your NFRs, and a certificate. Studio and Site Check share the same recorder and report engine — capture once, use it either way.
