Debugging the LoadRunner script VuGen converts user activity into a program called a Vuser script after capturing actual user behavior (business process) on a website. You cannot use the same Vuser script to perform a performance test with LoadRunner because you need to do some basic debugging, such as dynamic value handling and flow verification, …
URL mode vs. HTML mode HTTP/HTML, a popular LoadRunner web protocol, is used in 70% of performance test scenarios. This protocol records the communications between the client and the server and is used for web-based applications. There are two recording modes for the HTTP/HTML web protocol: HTML mode and URL mode. Each mode offers unique …
How is a LoadRunner script recorded? You are now prepared to record your first LoadRunner script after learning about the terminology and Basic Scripting Steps. Mercury created the “Recording” option when they first released LoadRunner, which is a simple and time-saving tool. A performance tester can easily explore the website’s pages while using the recording …
WHIWH Rule Performance testing requires a skill to identify bottlenecks. Without mastering this art, it is impossible to be an ideal performance tester. A proper method to locating the bottleneck and its source may be carried out with the use of certain performance test result analysis techniques. Apply the WHIWH rule before beginning an inquiry …
How does LoadRunner choose a protocol? To include a program in LoadRunner, you must first choose the correct protocol or protocols that the client and server will use to communicate. Before Micro Focus discontinued Protocol Advisor, choosing the protocol was a bit easier. Now you must determine the best protocol for you. For this reason, …
The simplicity, convenience of scripting, execution, and result analysis of LoadRunner are well known. You were given a high-level overview of all the fundamental procedures we take when performing performance testing with LoadRunner in the post titled “LoadRunner Basic Steps.” You must go through all of the subjects in the LoadRunner Tutorial to gain more …
Network-side Result Analysis The examination of network-side performance results is a follow-up to my prior articles on client and server performance analysis and optimization (Performance Test Result examination Basic Level and Performance Test Result Analysis Intermediate Level). Once you have evaluated the client- and server-side performance but are still not satisfied, consider the network performance. …
Error Graph One of the most fundamental graphs, it is usually used to identify the performance bottleneck. The error graph gives information on the kind of mistakes that happened and when they happened. The study into performance problems might begin with an examination of error graphs. The response code can be used to classify the …
Throughput Graph The throughput graph consistently shows a lack of attention. Because it is not listed in the NFRs, one explanation is that a performance tester does not recognize its significance or does not give it any thought. Naturally, it is true that throughput does not belong in the group of basic performance metrics, but …
Transactions per second Graph A transaction is a collection of requests sent to the server in a performance test script. Multiple requests connected to the components of a straightforward webpage could exist. The server receives these requests (sync or async) in one transaction when a user performs an action, such as clicking a button on …
