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.

What is the differnce between web(http/html) and web(click and script) protocols?

Web (Click and script) : Web(click and script ) has three types of recording options

GUI based

HTML based

URL based

Web (Click and Script) Vusers support non-HTML code such as Javascript on the client side. Web (Click and Script) Vusers handle most correlations automatically, reducing the scripting time. In most cases, you do not need to define rules for correlations or perform manual correlations after the recording.


Web(http/html)

HTML based and URL based :

What is correlation? Explain the difference between automatic correlation and manual correlation?

Correlation is used to obtain data which are unique for each run of the script and which are generated by nested queries. Correlation provides the value to avoid errors arising out of duplicate values and also optimizing the code (to avoid nested queries).

Automatic correlation is where we set some rules for correlation. It can be application server specific. Here values are replaced by data which are created by these rules. In manual correlation, the value we want to correlate is scanned and create correlation is used to correlate.
