Overview/Description
Executing a load test in the HP LoadRunner environment is done by creating and executing a load test scenario. This course covers how to use the Controller component of HP LoadRunner 12.5 to generate different types of scenarios – manual and goal-driven. You will learn how to create service-level agreements (SLA) that the load test result will be compared to and how to execute load test scenarios, identify issues during a test, and collate test results for analysis. The Analysis tool in HP LoadRunner is used to analyze test result data. This course covers how to generate an analysis session with the Analysis component of HP LoadRunner 12. You will also learn how to access graphical representations and how to create custom graphs in addition to how to access and generate different types of reports including summary, HTML, and SLA reports. This course can be used as part of preparation for the HP LoadRunner 12.x Software exam, HPO-M103, to obtain the HP ATP – LoadRunner v12 certification.
Target Audience
Performance engineers and others who are responsible for performance testing of software solutions and wish to learn how to use HP LoadRunner 12.5
