Its mainly applicable for testing the performance of the client and server based
applications
LoadRunner enables us to test our system under controlled and peak load conditions. To
generate load LoadRunner runs thousands of virtual users that are distributed over a
network. Using a minimum of hardware resources,these virtual users provide
consistent,repeatable,and measurable load to exercise our client and server system just as
real users would.
LoadRunner's in-depth reports and graph provide the information that we need to
evaluate the performance of our client and server system
4.What are all the compatible platforms which will be used to execute the LoadRunner
scripts?
Windows,UNIX
To load our client and server system, LoadRunner emulates an environment where
multiple users work concurrently,while the client and server system is under load,
LoadRunner accurately measures and analyze the system performance,and its
functionality
6.What kind of applications which will be mainly focused by the performance testing?
Modern 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.
Using LoadRunner,we divide our client and server performance requirements into
scenarios. A scenario defines
the events that occur during each testing session.
In the scenario, LoadRunner replaces human users with virtual users or Vusers. When we
run a scenario, Vuser emulate the actions of human users-submitting input into the server.
Login procedures
The actions that a Vuser performs during the scenario are described in a Vuser script.
When we run a scenario,each Vuser executes a Vuser script. The Vuser script include
functions that measure and record the performance of the server during the scenario.
We can insert Rendezvous points in to Vuser scripts to emulate heavy user load on the
server. Rendezvous points instruct multiple Vuser to perform tasks at exactly the same
time.
17.What is controller?
LoadRunner controller is used to manage and maintain our scenarios. Using the
controller ,we can control all the Vusers in a scenario from a single work station.
18.What is Hosts?
The host is the machine that executes the Vuser script,enabling the Vuser to emulate the
actions of a human user.
A rendezvous point creates intense user load on the server and enables LoadRunner to
measure server performance under load
A scenario consists of groups of Vusers which emulate human user interacting with your
application. When you run a scenario, the Vusers generate load on the server, and
LoadRunner monitors the server and transaction performance
Its a discipline that leverages products,people and processes to reduce the risk of
application,upgrade or patch deployment. It is about applying production work loads to
pre-deployment systems while simultaneously measuring system performance and end-
user experience.
23.What are all the things will be considered while doing performance testing?
? Does the application respond quickly enough for the intended users?
? Will the application handle the expected user load and beyond?
? Will the application handle the number of transactions required by the business?
? Is the application stable under expected and unexpected user loads?
? Are we sure that users will have a positive experience on go-live day?
The 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?
3. Why is it recommended to add verification checks to your all your scenarios?
4. What’s the scenario, where you would want to parameterize a text verification
check?
5. Why do you need to parameterize fields in your virtual user script?
6. What are the cases why parameterization is necessary when load testing the Web
server and the database server?
7. How can data caching have a negative effect on load testing results?
8. What is usually a good indicator that your virtual user script has dynamic data,
which is dependent on the parameterized fields?
9. What are the benefits of creating multiple actions within any virtual user script?
