LoadRunner Basics Flashcards
What’s LR used for?
To test the load and performance test the client/server and web applications
What LR does?
it identifies how the application performs when multiple users access it
What LR simulates?
It simulates multiple transactions from the same machine and it creates simultaneous access to application
What’s a scenario?
A series of action that need to be tested
Virtual User are called
Vusers
What Vuser does?
it submits the requests to the server
What’s Vuser script
Vuser script describes the actions performed by a virtual user
What are the divisions of Vuser script?
Vuser_int, Actions and Vuser_end
What is Vuser_int?
The actions under Vuser_int will be performed when the Vuser is loaded or initialized
What is Actions?
The actions under Actions will be performed when the Vuser is in Running state
What is Vuser_end?
The actions under Vuser_end will be performed when the Vuser finishes or stops
What’s transaction time?
Transaction time indicates the time taken by the server to respond to a request made by the client.
What are rendezvous points?
Multiple users are made to perform the same task exactly at the same time. Rendezvous means meeting point
What the performance test gives the report of?
Performance test report gives the various performance parameters such as average transaction time, throughput, hits per second, memory and cpu utilization etc.
What are the areas of work that you have done in performance testing?
Other than scripting, i have done pretty much everything starting with working closely with a performance tester, helped prepare performance strategy, plan, identify the scenarios needed to be tested, running the test, producing performance reports
