The Power of LoadRunner

To illustrate the power of LoadRunner, you will run and analyze a load test against a database application, with up to 10 concurrent users. The test will emulate travel agents simultaneously using the flight reservation system (for example, logging on, searching flights, purchasing flights, checking itineraries, and logging off).

During the test, you will observe how the Web server behaves under load using LoadRunner’s online monitors. In particular, you will see how an increase in load affects the time that it takes the server to respond to a user action (transaction response time) and causes errors.

After you have seen how LoadRunner can be used to generate load on a system and measure the responsiveness of the system to that load, you will learn how to use the LoadRunner components VuGen, Controller, and Analysis to create and run your own test, and analyze test results.

Note: LoadRunner allows you to purchase a license to use as many virtual users (Vusers) as you need to effectively test your application. For the purposes of this LoadRunner trial version, however, you are licensed to use 25 Vusers only.
