- Identify the Record: Determine the specific record type you want to test. Examples of record types in NetSuite include customers, transactions (such as sales orders or invoices), items, employees, and custom records.
- Define Performance Metrics: Determine the performance metrics that are important for the record type you want to test. Common performance metrics include response time, database query time, and resource utilization.
- Create Test Scenarios: Develop test scenarios that simulate real-world usage patterns for the record type you want to test. For example, if you are testing customer records, you might simulate scenarios such as creating new customer records, updating existing records, or searching for specific records.
- Prepare Test Data: Generate or gather test data that closely resembles your production environment. This ensures that the performance testing is conducted under realistic conditions.
- Execute Performance Tests: Run the test scenarios against the record type in NetSuite. Measure and record the performance metrics during the tests. You can use tools like SuiteScript, SuiteTalk, or RESTlets to automate the test scenarios.
