Getting Familiar with HP Tours

To illustrate the HP solution, this tutorial uses sample performance requirements for a sample application. This application, HP Tours, is a Webbased travel agency system. HP Tours users connect to a Web server, search for flights, book flights, and check flight itineraries.
While LoadRunner supports over 40 types of applications, this tutorial demonstrates load testing Web-based applications. If you are load testing applications that are not Web-based, please contact HP for assistance.
In this section, you will become familiar with the HP Tours application.
Opening HP Tours
You will use the HP Tours application to experience hands-on performance testing. Before proceeding with the tutorial, follow these steps to familiarize yourself with the look and feel of the application.
