LoadRunner - Essentials

( Duration: 5 Days )

This LoadRunner - Essentials training course covers the Virtual User Generator (VuGen), Controller, and Analysis tools. This course is designed to give you a foundation in basic load testing tasks. You create and run load test scenarios using the Controller. The Analysis tool is used to analyze load test results, and you learn to work with the graphs to display data after a test is executed.

By attending LoadRunner - Essentials workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Identify the information that you need for load testing
  • Identify the components of LoadRunner (LR)
  • Apply the recommended workflow to create a basic LR scenario
  • Assign scripts, run-time settings, performance monitors, Load Generators (LGs), and Virtual User (Vusers) to a LR scenario based on the load testing goals
  • Perform a load test on an application by running a scenario

  • Have working knowledge of Windows, Websites, and browsers
  • Fundamental understanding of C programming is helpful, but not required

The LoadRunner - Essentials class is ideal for:

  • Quality Assurance and Performance Engineers
  • Users of LoadRunner who need to create scripts to load test their web applications
  • Executives involved in any aspect of the load testing process
