Performance Testing with Micro Focus Loadrunner

Learn how to get started with the Virtual User Generator in LoadRunner, create and customize scripts, choose protocols, and prepare for performance testing with recording and replay.

Record and replay a VUGen script to perform performance testing with Micro Focus LoadRunner, using recording settings, start recording, and replay to validate playback.

Learn to create and manage actions in load testing with Micro Focus LoadRunner, distinguishing user init, actions, and user end, and using recording, replay, and runtime settings to control iterations.

Learn how to define and use transactions in loadrunner scripts to measure task completion time, debug performance issues, and identify bottlenecks through start and end transaction blocks.

Learn to add image and text verification steps in LoadRunner scripts, enabling image checkpoints and text checks to confirm UI elements load before proceeding.

Explore the output tab in LoadRunner, and learn how replay, completion, recording, and code generation logs capture script execution details and runtime settings to analyze performance.

Explore solution explorer and step navigator to understand how a LoadRunner script is organized, navigated by function names, actions, and runtime settings.

Master data-driven testing in Micro Focus LoadRunner by parameterizing scripts, using external data files and data columns to drive multiple iterations across different users.

Learn manual and automatic correlation in design studio to handle dynamic values with regular expressions, enabling reliable iterations across different data sets in performance testing.

Explore runtime settings in VUGen, mastering run logic, pacing, think time, and detailed logging to design, replay, and analyze scripts with parameter substitution.

Explore recording settings in loadrunner, including general recording options, script vs server side scripting, code generation, correlation and protocol settings, and data mapping for accurate script capture.

Explore tool options in VUGen, covering general, editor, and scripting settings, including recording, replay, and code editing features to customize performance testing workflows.

Discover how the controller in LoadRunner applies load to scripts for performance testing, including license basics, manual and goal-oriented scenarios, and configuring scripts, load distribution, and SLA thresholds.

Learn to configure manual and goal oriented scenarios in the controller, set load generators, and distribute load to scripts while defining duration and performance goals.

Design and execute a basic schedule scenario in LoadRunner, configuring load generators, playback scripts, and user iterations, then analyze results and charts to assess throughput and response time.

Design and execute a real world schedule scenario in loadrunner. Define test duration, start/stop conditions, and initialization modes to observe response times and resource usage.

Explore how to add monitors and measurements in the LoadRunner controller, configure graphs before running, and monitor runtime performance across server resources and response metrics.

Navigate LoadRunner analysis to view graphs and reports, import controller results, and explore interactive charts, raw data, and reports that diagnose performance issues.

Learn to apply filter and granularity in LoadRunner analysis to focus on users or time ranges, and adjust graph granularity from coarse to fine for hits per second and throughput.

Discover how to use rendezvous points in LoadRunner to synchronize many virtual users, waiting at a designated moment and then acting together during performance tests.

Define service level agreements in load tests and compare expected thresholds to actual results to determine pass or fail. Monitor throughput, hits, and errors to validate performance against goals.
