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.
The default recording option in LoadRunner is HTML- based script. To change default option from HTML based script to URL based script u need to navigate to Tools-> Recording Options.
Select Recording in General. u can select the desired option(HTML/URL) by selecting the corresponding the radio button. U cannot find GUI based scriptoption in Loadrunner 9.0
HTML based script: Instructs VuGen to record HTML actions in the context of the current Web page
URl based script : instructs VuGen to record all requests and resources from the server
