Do you know you can work on the parameter files manually both on and LoadRunner (LR) and Quick Test Professional (QTP)? What we are referring to is that you can make changes to the parameter list via the file system instead of going through the Vugen or QTP interface. Sometimes when you have a huge list of data that you want to test (especially in LoadRunner), it becomes an overwhelming task where you have to manually key in the values into the parameter list. By knowing how to work with the parameter files directly, you can save a lot of time! Read the rest of this entry »

In our earlier post, we’ve mentioned that Quick Test Professional (QTP) scripts can be used in load testing in LoadRunner. The scripts are developed in QTP and port into LoadRunner for usage where they are called GUI Vuser. Executing GUI Vuser in a load test requires the GUI Vuser protocol. One of the key features of LoadRunner scripts is the ability to track the timing of your individual transaction in the script and generally, you will want to perform the same tracking in the GUI Vuser script.

Often there is a need to verify the validity of the file being downloaded by the script. Under normal circumstances, if the file is a PDF or excel file, it will be returned/transmitted in binary (when you turned on replay log). In this way, unlike conventional functional tool, LoadRunner is unable to verify if the file downloaded is valid. Read the rest of this entry »

In LoadRunner, the percentile graph is a great graph for understanding how well the system is performing in terms of transaction response time from an overall perspective in a load test. How is the percentile graph derived? The mathematical explanation/formula can be found in Wiki, Percentile rank. Read the rest of this entry »

There are always situations that required us to work with dynamic data returned by the server through correlation and stored in array. That is where web_reg_save_param comes into play of capturing a value or list of values based on a defined left boundary and right boundary. To fully appreciate the power of LoadRunner, VUGen, is to at best refrain from using those GUI features such as Correlation Studio or Runtime Viewer/Browser. Read the rest of this entry »
