HP loadRunner

LoadRunner training course is your first step towards success as a LoadRunner expert, designed to give you a firm foundation in basic load testing tasks. In this course, you will learn how to plan, create, and run a simple load test effectively and efficiently. You will gain understanding of how the LoadRunner components work and interact with one another. You will also learn how to interpret LoadRunner analysis graphs and achieve the set load testing goals.

Participants should have the following knowledge:

  • Websites and web browsers
  • C Programming preferred but not mandatory

  • Manual Testers / Automation Testers
  • Computer Science Graduates

By attending this LoadRunner workshop, Participants will learn to:

  • Identify what information needs to be gathered for load testing
  • Understanding the performance testing lifecycle
  • Create LoadRunner Scripts
  • Configuring Run-Time settings
  • Apply the workflow recommended for creating a LoadRunner scenarios
  • Assign scripts, run – time settings, performance monitors, load generators and Vusers to a LoadRunner scenario based on your load testing goals
  • Load test your application by running a scenario
