This blogspace is meant to be a one-stop shop for anybody wanting to learn about HP Load runner.

LoadRunner is HP’s tool for application performance testing.LoadRunner stresses your entire application to isolate and identify potentialclient, network, and server bottlenecks. LoadRunner enables you to test yoursystem under controlled and peak load conditions.

When i started load runner i dont know from where to start. So i thought of posting my experiences to beginners. My intention here is to collate the useful information on Loadrunner scattered all over the web.



Performance Testing


Performance Tests are tests that determine end to end timing (benchmarking) of various time critical business processes and transactions, while the system is under low load, but with a production sized database. This sets ‘best possible’ performance expectation under a given configuration of infrastructure. It also highlights very early in the testing process if changes need to be made before load testing should be undertaken. For example, a customer search may take 15 seconds in a full sized database if indexes had not been applied correctly, or if an SQL 'hint' was incorporated in a statement that had been optimized with a much smaller database. Such performance testing would highlight such a slow customer search transaction, which could be remediated prior to a full end to end load test.

Hi Sirisha...
I think your blog is a wonderful idea for novice performance testers like me..so a big thank You!!
Could you tel me if LoadRunner supports any kind of emulation mode which could be used for protocols like Web services ??

hi Sirisha,
I am looking forward to do the testing of mobile applications as using the accounts from their computers, as per on WAP. I have looking in for Load runner but still unable to resolve the issuues in tht like gateway issues nd still unable to start recording in tht.
