Lesson 2.2: Creating a response time measurement

In this lesson, learn how to create a response time measurement that can record the time that the application spends processing an event.

About this task

Response time measurements report how fast the application responds to a specific user input event. Typically, response time measurements are automatically created between a user input action and the window event that occurs immediately after.

In addition, you can manually add your own response time measurements, for example to record a global response time that covers multiple window events.
