HP LoadRunner 12 Essentials: Enhancing Vuser Scripts

  • start the course
  • describe, insert, and display transactions in a Vuser script
  • describe the purpose of rendezvous points and include them in Vuser scripts
  • use general and protocol-specific Vuser functions in Vuser scripts
  • describe the purpose and types of steps and insert steps into a Vuser script
  • describe the purpose of parameters and parameter types, and create a parameter for a value in a Vuser script
  • work with existing parameters specified for a Vuser script
  • describe the purpose of correlation and contrast it with parameterization and correlate Vuser scripts using Design Studio
  • show how to search for values that need correlation and manually correlate Vuser scripts
  • manually program a Vuser script using the VuGen editor
  • run Vuser scripts without using the VuGen interface
  • practice enhancing LoadRunner Vuser scripts by using features such as transactions, Vuser functions, parameters, and correlation

Overview/Description
In the HP LoadRunner environment, Vuser scripts are used to emulate real-world business processes. This course covers how to enhance Vuser scripts, how to insert transactions into your scripts, and how to use parameters and correlation to provide flexibility and avoid errors. In this course, you will also learn how to use functions in a script. The course also provides coverage of advanced scripting techniques including how to create a packet capture (PCAP) file and how to generate a script manually or by using Microsoft Visual Studio or Eclipse. You will also learn how to run scripts from the Windows command line and how to compile and run scripts in Linux. 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

Lesson Objectives

HP LoadRunner 12 Essentials: Working with Controller and Analysis

  • start the course
  • describe purpose of the Controller and describe the Controller interface and scenario types
  • create a LoadRunner scenario
  • use the LoadRunner Controller to modify Vuser script details
  • use the LoadRunner Controller to configure load generators to generate a load on a system, describe how load balancing is implemented and monitor the CPU use of a load generator
  • use the Scenario Schedule options in LoadRunner Controller to emulate real load behavior
  • use the LoadRunner Controller to emulate different types of users
  • use the LoadRunner Controller to set up monitors to monitor the system under load
  • describe service-level agreements (SLAs) and define SLAs in the Controller
  • describe the LoadRunner Controller Run view and use the Controller to run and monitor a load test scenario
  • use rendezvous points during a scenario run and generate a Vuser script log
  • use the Controller's graphs to Identify application errors and performance issues during a test
  • collate load test results in preparation for analysis and use the LoadRunner Controller to modify a load scenario during a test by increasing the load
  • practice creating and executing LoadRunner scenarios
  • create an Analysis session and describe the LoadRunner Analysis interface
  • view load test scenario information in LoadRunner Analysis
  • use LoadRunner Analysis to graphically view performance and customize graph display
  • work with cross result and merged graphs in Analysis
  • generate a custom graph in Analysis
  • access results of an analysis session in a summary report and describe its components
  • publish results of an analysis session in an HTML report and describe its components
  • create a transaction analysis report and SLA report and describe their components
  • practice creating an analysis session and generating a report

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.

Overview/Description
Performance testing is a crucial part of all stages of a software product life cycle as it ensures that systems are provided that meet business requirements. HP LoadRunner is load-testing software that provides end-to-end system performance measurement under load. This course provides an overview of performance testing and LoadRunner, including the installation of the software components. The Virtual User Generator or VuGen component of HP LoadRunner enables you to create Vuser scripts to emulate real-world business processes. In this course, you will learn about creating and recording scripts for specific protocols in addition to how to use the Protocol Advisor to select scripts and how to replay and debug scripts. 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.
