Recording your first journey

Press record, click through your flow, stop, and review the captured steps and correlations.

# Recording your first journey ## Record 1. Open your site in Chrome with the extension installed. 2. Click the extension and press **Record**. 3. Click through the flow you want to test (e.g. login → search → checkout) like a normal user. 4. Press **Stop**. ## Review The recorder shows the **transactions** (steps) it captured, the requests per step, and any **correlations** it detected — dynamic values like CSRF tokens or session ids that must be replayed per virtual user. ## Next - Generate a JMeter script to run under load yourself, or - **Open in Studio** for the visual test plan builder, live monitoring and performance certificates. > Tip: record the *real* path a user takes. The report is only as honest as the > journey you walk.
