1.Where the LoadRunner will be exactly applicable?

Its mainly applicable for testing the performance of the client and server based
applications
2.ow the LoadRunner will test the application?
LoadRunner enables us to test our system under controlled and pea! load conditions. "o
generate load LoadRunner runs thousands of virtual users that are distributed over a
networ!. #sing a minimum of hardware resources$these virtual users provide
consistent$repeatable$and measurable load to exercise our client and server system %ust as
real users would.
&.ow to evaluate the performance of a system?
LoadRunner's in(depth reports and graph provide the information that we need to
evaluate the performance of our client and server system
).What are all the compatible platforms which will be used to execute the LoadRunner
scripts?
Windows$#*I+
,.What are all the parameters LoadRunner will mainly test?
"o load our client and server system$ LoadRunner emulates an environment where
multiple users wor! concurrently$while the client and server system is under load$
LoadRunner accurately measures and analy-e the system performance$and its
functionality
..What !ind of applications which will be mainly focused by the performance testing?
/odern client and server architectures are complex. While they provide an
unprecedented degree of power and flexibility$these systems are difficult to test. Whereas
single user testing focuses primarily on functionality and the user interface of single
application$client and server testing focuses on performance and reliability of an entire
client and server system.
0.What are the limitations of manual load testing?
? It is expensive$re1uiring large amount of both personnel and machinery
? It is complicated$especially coordinating and synchroni-ing multiple users
? It involves a high degree of organi-ation
? "he repeatability of the manual tests is limited
2.What are all the main features of LoadRunner?
? LoadRunner reduces the personnel re1uirements
? LoadRunner reduces the hardware re1uirements
? "he controlling will be accomplished effectively by the controller
? 3ecause LoadRunner tests are fully automated$we can easily repeat them as many times
we need
4.What is the purpose of LoadRunner scenarios?
#sing LoadRunner$we divide our client and server performance re1uirements into
scenarios. 5 scenario defines
the events that occur during each testing session.
16.What sort of things will be replaced in scenarios?
In the scenario$ LoadRunner replaces human users with virtual users or 7users. When we
run a scenario$ 7user emulate the actions of human users(submitting input into the server.
11.What is load testing?
"esting of application for simultaneous users
12.What does vuser8init action contains?
Login procedures
1&.What is the main aim of load testing?
"o calculate the response time
1).What the 7user script will do while running the scenario?
"he actions that a 7user performs during the scenario are described in a 7user script.
When we run a scenario$each 7user executes a 7user script. "he 7user script include
functions that measure and record the performance of the server during the scenario.
1,.What is "ransaction time?
"o measure the performance of the server$we define transactions. "ransactions measure
the time that it ta!es for the server to respond to tas!s submitted by 7user.
1..What is Rende-vous points?
We can insert Rende-vous points in to 7user scripts to emulate heavy user load on the
server. Rende-vous points instruct multiple 7user to perform tas!s at exactly the same
time.
10.What is controller?
LoadRunner controller is used to manage and maintain our scenarios. #sing the
controller $we can control all the 7users in a scenario from a single wor! station.
12.What is osts?
"he host is the machine that executes the 7user script$enabling the 7user to emulate the
actions of a human user.
14.What is mean by Rende-vous points?
5 rende-vous point creates intense user load on the server and enables LoadRunner to
measure server performance under load
26.What is the need for doing load testing?
"he factors are9 /inimal
infrastructure$Reliable$Repeatable$:rogrammable$;omprehensive$Reusable
21.ow to create 7user <roups in loadrunner?
5 scenario consists of groups of 7users which emulate human user interacting with your
application. When you run a scenario$ the 7users generate load on the server$ and
LoadRunner monitors the server and transaction performance
22.Why should we automate the performance testing?
Its a discipline that leverages products$people and processes to reduce the ris! of
application$upgrade or patch deployment. It is about applying production wor! loads to
pre(deployment systems while simultaneously measuring system performance and end(
user experience.
2&.What are all the things will be considered while doing performance testing?
? =oes the application respond 1uic!ly enough for the intended users?
? Will the application handle the expected user load and beyond?
? Will the application handle the number of transactions re1uired by the business?
? Is the application stable under expected and unexpected user loads?
? 5re we sure that users will have a positive experience on go(live day?
2). What are the LoadRunner components?
? 7irtual #ser <enerator
? ;ontroller

2..What is remote command launcher?
"he remote command launcher enables the controller to start applications on the host
machine
1. What criteria would you use to select Web transactions for load testing?
2. Why are virtual users created?
&. Why is it recommended to add verification chec!s to your all your scenarios?
). What?s the scenario$ where you would want to parameteri-e a text verification
chec!?
,. Why do you need to parameteri-e fields in your virtual user script?
.. What are the cases why parameteri-ation is necessary when load testing the Web
server and the database server?
0. ow can data caching have a negative effect on load testing results?
2. What is usually a good indicator that your virtual user script has dynamic data$
which is dependent on the parameteri-ed fields?
4. What are the benefits of creating multiple actions within any virtual user script?
