The Power of LoadRunner
To illustrate the power of LoadRunner, you will run and analyze a load test
against a database application, with up to 10 concurrent users. The test will
emulate travel agents simultaneously using the flight reservation system (for
example, logging on, searching flights, purchasing flights, checking
itineraries, and logging off).
During the test, you will observe how the Web server behaves under load
using LoadRunner’s online monitors. In particular, you will see how an
increase in load affects the time that it takes the server to respond to a user
action (transaction response time) and causes errors.
After you have seen how LoadRunner can be used to generate load on a
system and measure the responsiveness of the system to that load, you will
learn how to use the LoadRunner components—VuGen, Controller, and
Analysis—to create and run your own test, and analyze test results.
Note: LoadRunner allows you to purchase a license to use as many virtual
users (Vusers) as you need to effectively test your application. For the
purposes of this LoadRunner trial version, however, you are licensed to use
25 Vusers only.
