StartPerformanceTransactionForApplication

Description

Start Performance Transaction collects data on Duration, CPU, Battery, Memory of the specified application on the device. The Network traffic will be measured for the device, and not per application.

The command must be used with EndPerformanceTransaction.

Parameters

Name	Value
applicationName	Application to be monitored (bundle id for iOS and package name for Android)
NVProfile	Name of the Virtualization profile (Network Virtualization).  If the empty value is passed, then the '3G-average' profile is selected and if 'NONE' value is passed, no profile will be selected.

This will start a performance transaction. An exception is thrown if trying to start a transaction while an existing transaction is already run.

You can view the transaction, once ended, in Reporter under Transactions.

info

• Android 5.0+ and all iOS versions are supported.
• The maximum transaction maximum time is 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the transaction is canceled.
• The transaction will be canceled if you release the client or quit the driver. No data will be saved.
