• Why should you automate performance testing?
Does the application respond quickly enough for the intended users?
➤ Will the application handle the expected user load and beyond?
➤ Will the application handle the number of transactions required by the
business?
➤ Is the application stable under expected and unexpected user loads?
➤ Are you sure that users will have a positive experience on go-live day?
• What are the LoadRunner components?
VU Generator captures end-user business processes and creates
an automated performance testing script, also known as a virtual user script.
Controller organizes, drives, manages, and monitors the load test.
Load Generators create the load by running virtual users.
Analysis helps you view, dissect, and compare the performance results.
Launcher provides a single point of access for all of the LoadRunner
components.
• Understanding LoadRunner Terminology
Scenario: A scenario is a file that defines the events that occur
during each testing session, based on performance requirements.
VUsers: In the scenario, LoadRunner replaces human users with
virtual users or Vusers. Vusers emulate the actions of human users
working with your application. A scenario can contain tens,
hundreds, or even thousands of Vusers.
VUser Script: The actions that a Vuser performs during the scenario
are described in a Vuser script.
Transactions: To measure the performance of the server, you define
transactions. A transaction represents end-user business
processes that you are interested in measuring.
• What is the load testing process?
• Load testing typically consists of five phases: planning, script creation, scenario definition, scenario execution, and results analysis.
•
Plan Load Test
Create Vuser Scripts
Define a Scenario
Run a Scenario
Analyze the Results.
• Load Runner supports over 40 types of applications. e.g: Web, etc.
