- Open Developer Tools: Open the Developer Tools in your web browser. You can usually access it by right-clicking on the webpage and selecting “Inspect” or “Inspect Element” from the context menu. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows) or Cmd+Option+I (Mac) to open the Developer Tools.
- Navigate to the Record: Log in to your NetSuite account and navigate to the specific record you want to test. For example, if you want to test a customer record, go to the Customer record page.
- Enable Network Recording: In the Developer Tools, navigate to the “Network” tab. Ensure that the recording option is enabled. The network tab will start capturing network requests made by the webpage.
- Perform Record Actions: Interact with the record by performing various actions you want to test, such as creating a new record, updating existing fields, or performing searches. Make sure to generate a realistic workload during this step.
- Analyze Network Requests: After performing the record actions, inspect the network requests captured in the Developer Tools’ Network tab. Look for requests related to your record operations, such as REST API calls or AJAX requests. Pay attention to the timing information provided for each request.
- Analyze Performance Metrics: Examine the performance metrics captured for each network request. This includes metrics such as response time, request size, and server processing time. You can sort the requests by timing or filter them based on specific criteria.
- Identify Performance Bottlenecks: Identify any requests that have longer response times or show signs of poor performance. Look for potential bottlenecks, such as slow database queries or excessive server-side processing, that may be affecting the record’s performance.
