Overview:
This course focuses on using LoadRunner 11.0 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, Performance Engineers & Users of LoadRunner who need to create scripts to load test their Web applications.
Pre-Requisite:
Working knowledge of Windows, Web sites and browsers & Client/server environment.
