You will create and run load test scenarios using the LR Controller. The LR Analysis component is used to analyze load test results. You will learn to interpret LoadRunner analysis graphs and achieve your load testing goals.

The Virtual User Generator (VuGen) is a scripting tool used to record and run user actions on the application to be tested. The course also focuses on planning, creating and enhancing Virtual User (Vuser) scripts using VuGen in the Web environment. All topics are supported by hands-on labs designed to provide you with the knowledge necessary to load test your system using LoadRunner to test your system, including web applications.

Product version information: QBIT courses in Mercury products are taught using the latest available version. If you are using an earlier version please contact QBIT for advice.

Recommended for: quality assurance engineers; performance engineers; new users of LoadRunner who need to load test their applications and/or executives who will be involved in any part of load testing
