Is This Answer 1 Yes 4 No

Correct ?

Re: Consider a business transaction, which is run in the LR tool (takes 2sec), but when run manually (takes 4sec). Plea
explain??
This is because LR does not
calculate the time of browser
emulation (like QTP)....So it
only calculate the response
time from server to client's
machine( IP Address)..Not from
the server all the way to
client's
browser......Browser's
time depends on the machine's
configuration and performance
during the response of the
page.
ute set of multiple SQL queries in Load Runner? Which component in LR would be used to run the SQL Queries?
Follow below mentioned steps in order to
execute query
through LR script-

(1) Establish conn with DB

lrd_open_connection(&Con1,
LRD_DBTYPE_ORACLE, "bb",
"lion", "hammer", "", 0, 0, 0);

(2) Enter query

lrd_stmt(Csr1, "select ename from
employee where
(sal>=1000)\n", -1, 1, 1, 0);

(3) lrd_bind_col(Csr1, 1, &D21_ENAME,

0);

(4) Execute query

lrd_exec(Csr1, 0, 0, 0, 0);

(5) lrd_fetch(Csr1, -3, 1, 0,

PrintRow24, 0);
 (6) lrd_close_cursor(&Csr2, 0);

(7) lrd_close_connection(&Con1, 0, 0);

ulate Elapsed Time in LoadRunner?

Elapsed Time = Ramp up time + Duration

During Scheduling you define both these

values and hence
can calculate. moreover you can see on top
right pan in
controller during running scenarios.

Answer is 1250 Vu.

ndezvous point? When u apply this?

rendezvous pt means v use vuser in the
loadrunner all the
vuser meetingin a certain poit

in Action itself. Run both the scripts. What are the difference u will find? Is there any difference?
If it is in the Vugen, no diffrence, if it is in
the
Controller, then it will behave diffrent based
on the
iterations and duration provided.

ered Bug?
A Deferred bug would be a funtionality needed in
the
application which could have been missed by the BA
and is
raised as a BUG. An undeveloped funtionality which
would
can be deferred for future releases.
 e.g : Think of a search engine and as the user
enters
letters the application should suggest words
accoridngly.
Incase the tester raises a bug saying that the
words should
be shown as a hint to the user. Since this
funtionality is
not yet developed it can be deferred to future
release.
Hope the question is answered.
you do the load test in your current project?
Hi, 0 Gu
Load Test is ideally done only
once, and only after all
the Functional Testing (UAT/SIT).

Otherwise, i could depend on

your client requirement.

Is This Answer 0 Yes

Correct ? 0 No

Re: How often you do the load test in your current project?
This also depends on the Project /
application demand.

For Example if the application is

like depends on the Data
that is going to change every day
with heavy fluctuations.
Then we will keep certain time
period (say 30 days) we will
test the LOAD during these 30 days
on every day to moniter
the performance behaviour of the
application.

elate the server side data, when u r getting more than one dynamic data which keeps on suffel
ay?
Here we have two way to correlate the 0 Arbind
value

1. Run an iteration of script and

click on scan for
correlation button. It will show the
value which need to be
correlated. Then click on correlate
button.

But some time this idea does not work.

In such case you need
to identify the value, it left
boundary and its right
boundary and the you can define your
definition for
correlation.

Is This Answer
Correct ? 1 Yes 0 No

Re: How to correlate the server side data, when u r getting more than one dynamic data which keeps on suffel during r
server side data correlation we will
do manually. first we
follow the bellow algorithm of manual
correlation.

1.Find a dynamic value to capture.

2.Find server's response, containing
the dynamic value.
3.Capture the dynamic value.Special
parameter will be used
instead of dynamic value.
4.Replace every occurrence of dynamic
value in script with
the parameter.
5.Check changes.

Find each step describe in details:

1.Find a dynamic value to capture: I
recommend to record
and save two equal VuGen scripts.
After that, open menu
item "Tools / Compare with Scripts"
and you can compare
both recorded scripts in WDiff.

2.The differences are highlighted by

yellow. This
highlighting means that lines
(parameters values) change
from run to run. So, most probably,
these values should be
correlated.

3.Find server's response, containing

the dynamic value
Before script executing, please enable
extended logging
from "Vuser / Run-Time Settings...":

4.Then execute script.Open Replay

(Execution) log and find
server's response, which contains
dynamic values.
 5.Capture the dynamic value
I will show two ways how to capture a
dynamic value:
o Automatic capturing from Tree-view
o Manual from Script-view
These ways are similar enough. Also,
they use the same
function - web_reg_save_param.

ation need to be done when only one value need to be passed?

Parameterization can be bypassed if only the value
passed
will same always.

Keeping in mind reusability of script it would be

advisable
to parameterize it.

Else if there are time constarints/script is not

going to be
used/reused freq then it may be bypassed

Can anyone help me out in load testing? I need to test a web application in which 100 users has to login at a time and ente

Hi Giri,

First select the web protocal from protocals list.

Now record the script for your application.
Parameterization for the fields wherever u required.

For Eg. Cust ID - In recording time u entered customer id

as CUST-01 then select the CUST-01 from the script and
right click on that paramterize that field.

Execute the scenario with 100 Vusers in Controller. Once

completed the scenario, check the records in your
application.

nce testing how can we say perfomance is good or medium or bad please i need urgent answer
Based on the SLA ( Service Level Agreement ) you get from
the client. If it fulfills,its good.If it doesnt,then its
bad.If it is acceptable by the client,then medium..

w to know how to explain the load runner process please explain iam having the interivew
Load testing typically consists of five phases:
1) Planning 2)Script creation 3)Scenario definition 4)
Scenario execution and 5) Results Analysis.
> Plan Load Test - Define your performance testing
requirements, for example, number of concurrent users,
typical business processes, and required response times.
> Create Vuser Scripts - Capture the end-user activities
into automated scripts.
> Define a Scenario - Use the LoadRunner Controller to set
up the load test environment.
> Run a Scenario - Drive, manage, and monitor the load test
from the LoadRunner Controller.
> Analyze the Results - Use LoadRunner Analysis to create
graphs and reports and evaluate the performance.

y need a substantial answer for one Q on Vusers - Performance Center. Hope you could help me. Q : My
s intended to undergo soon the load testing with performance center. The Vusers we planned are 100. But the
ys that we should use 100 different UserID/Password's & each Virtual user should login into a different account
g. Firstly, is this required ? my application can handle multiple logins for the same userid/password, hence is it
o use 100 different account when we can do the same test with one account. If so, for 1000 Vusers we cannot use
right ? I need substantial info to prove my point. Secondly, is this possible to assign a different userid/pwd to
user ? Thanks in advance & awating your reply Harsha
It depends on what kind of scenario you wanted to verify.
If each of Vuser is required to perform some transaction
like add/edit/delete then you need 100 diff user id and
password for simplicity.

Yes, it is possible to parameterize your script to assign

different userid/pwd

lr_find_string()
lr_eval_string()

p by step---plz give answer only realtime...?
No need to in install LR on all the systems.

0 iterations and 20 user, we have to execute 1 iteration by 2 users ... what are the steps for above ?
first of all we have to calculate iteration time in
vugenbased on thatwe have to set the scenario ramp up
,duration, rampdown.
in scenario creation we have to define
for ex in vugen for 1 iteration the time is 10 sec (login
2sec,action part of script6sec,lout of script2sec)
based on this we have to intialialise the vusers on to the
server like this
first 2 vusers starts when scenario begins then rest 18
users enter in following manner i.e
1)intialise 2 usersforevery 4 sec& runfor12 sce &rampdown
from the server after duration.this is scenario setting.
