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 »

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 »

Most of the time, we need to know the data that is being transmitted to and back from the server in the Replay Log to troubleshoot the scripts. And what we usually do, is to configure the settings in the Runtime Settings through the following options:
- Parameter substitution
- Advance Trace
- Data Returned by Server

Typically for newbies, the question after getting their first copy of LoadRunner and installation of Vugen will be, “Which protocol to use?”. They post online or to the support to ask, “I’ve got a Java/.NET applicaton, and there are many protocols from the list of Vugen. Which Protocol should I choose ” or “…can you advise on the protocol to use?”.
The fact is that it doesn’t really matter the type of language that was used to developed the application, but rather the type of communication method or protocol that the application is talking to the server. Previously, in “What’s LoadRunner?”, we mentioned that the tool captures network traffic while recording which is the core understanding that we must align when using this tool.
