When I run a performance tests it opens the URL, completes the first part of the test but when I try to get past our shopping cart (checkout) it throws an error either the page cannot be displayed or the proxy settings failed.
We work WITHIN a proxy and the application is within our firewall, although I tried this with our production site and received the same error.
The functional test works just fine and passes all pages as it goes through our test site.
After running the test, my proxy settings in IE have changed and I have to go back in to reset them otherwise I cannot connect to anything using IE (10)
If the functional test works without a hitch and the performance test uses the same test -then why is there an issue?
I also tried recording a new test, but with the same result.
Of course, I cannot find anything in the forums about this issue. This, along with the inability to connect to TFS2013 is making Test Studio look bad in my evaluation (we are going through the trial license to assess value).

First, thank you for taking the time to evaluate Test Studio for your test automation needs.
The one key difference between running a web test and running a performance test is that our own HTTP proxy is activated with the performance test so that we can measure the performance of the HTTP traffic flowing on the wire. You mention you have your own proxy. We've designed our code so that our proxy should forward traffic to the previously set proxy, then restore the proxy settings when done. It sounds like something is going wrong in this process, or your proxy is getting upset and not accepting traffic from our own proxy.
You also mentioned you tried your production site with the same results. If it's OK, I'd like to try the same thing on your own production site to try and diagnose what's happening. Can you send me a test I can run on my computer that would hit your production site? This would be a .tstest file on disk.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon!
Regards,
Cody
