Load Runner
Load Runner
SUMMARY:
This courses focuses on using LoadRunner to load test
Web applications. You will create test scenarios and run them using the
LoadRunner Controller. You will use the LoadRunner Analysis
component to interpret load test results. The information gathered
during planning is used to create and enhance scripts specific to Web
applications using the Virtual User Generator (VuGen) component of
LoadRunner. All topics are supported by hands-on exercises designed
to provide you with the knowledge to load test your applications in the
Web environment.
AUDIENCE:
Quality Assurance Engineers
