LoadRunner Testing Training Course

Overview

LoadRunner is an automated load testing tool that allows you to test your application before, during, and after deployment. This course is designed to give you a firm foundation in basic load testing tasks.

The LoadRunner Controller and Analysis will be covered in this course. You will create and run load test scenarios using the Controller. The Analysis is used to analyze load test results. You will learn to work with the graphs to display data after a test is run.

Objectives

At the end of LoadRunner testing training course, the partcipants will be able to:

• Identify information that needs to be gathered for load testing
• Identify the components of LoadRunner
• Apply the workflow recommended for creating a basic LoadRunner scenario
• Assign scripts, run-time settings, performance monitors, load generators to a LoadRunner scenario based on your load testing goals
• Load test your application by running a scenario

Audience - This course is intended to people having an interest in load-testing, whether they are QA people or developers in charge of testing their own applications.

Duration - 2 Days

Prerequisites - Working knowledge of Windows, Web sites and browsers & Client/server environment.
