     LoadRunner Components
     What is load testing process?
     Getting Familiar with Mercury

     Application Requirements
    Why Performance…?
     Does the application respond quickly
    enough for the intended users?
     Will the application handle the expected
    user load and beyond?
     Will the application handle the number of
    transactions required by the business?
     Is the application stable under expected
    and unexpected user loads?
     Are you sure that users will have a
    positive experience on go-live day?
    Define Stress/Load/Performance
    Testing
     Stress Testing: Stress Testing is done in order to check
    when the application fails by reducing the system resources
    such as RAM, HDD etc. and keeping the number of users as
    constant.
     Load Testing: Load Testing is done in order to check when
    the application fails by increasing the number of users and
    keeping the system resources as constant.
     Performance Testing: The term Performance can mean
    measuring response time, throughput, resource utilization,
    or some other system characteristic( or group of them), by
    varying the number of users.
    Benchmark Design
     The Benchmark is the representative workload
    used during the performance test run. It should
    be representative of the likely real-world
    operating conditions.
     Benchmark is provided by the client.
     In Industry scenario the benchmark is as follows:
     No. of transactions passed per second >= 8
     Response time <= 5 sec.

     Segue Silk Performer
     Rational Team Test

     Empirix e-Load/RSW)
     Soft Light Site Tools Loader
    LoadRunner Components
     The Virtual User Generator captures end-user
    business processes and creates an automated
    performance testing script, also known as a virtual
    user script.
     The Controller organizes, drives, manages, and
    monitors the load test.
     The Load Generators create the load by running
    virtual users.
     The Analysis helps you view, dissect, and
    compare the performance results.
     The Launcher provides a single point of access
    for all of the LoadRunner components.

    Problems
    Topics to be Covered
     What is Correlation?
     Preparing Mercury Tours for Playback
    Errors
     How do I work with unique server values?
    What is Correlation?
    Many applications use dynamic values that change each time
    you use the application. For example, some servers assign a
    unique session ID for every new session. When you try to
    replay a recorded session, the application creates a new
    session ID that differs from the recorded session ID.

    LoadRunner addresses this issue through correlation.


    Correlation saves the changing values, in our case the session
    ID, to a parameter. When running the emulation, the Vuser
    does not use the recorded value—instead, it uses the new
    session ID, assigned to it by the server.
    Preparing Mercury Tours
    for Playback Errors
    1. Open Mercury Tours.
    Choose Start > Programs > Mercury LoadRunner >
    Samples > Web > Mercury Web Tours Application.
    1. Change the server options.
    Click SERVER OPTIONS in the left pane. Select the Setting 3
    option. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the
    Reconfigure Server Details button. Scroll down to the bottom
    of the page and click the Return to the Mercury Tours
    Homepage link. This setting tells the server not to
    allowduplicate session IDs.
    (Note that if you have IIS installed on your machine, you will
    need to modify the settings for this application. Search for the
    file xitami.cfg in the xitami folder, and open it in a text editor.
    Locate the line portbase=1000, and modify it to portbase=1001.
    Save and exit the file.)
    3. Close the browser.
    4. Record the script again to create a new script with dynamic
    values.
    How do I work with unique
    server values?
    1. Record the script again.
    2. Replay the script.
    3. Scan the script for correlations.
    4. View the correlations.
    5. Correlate the Session ID.
    6. Examine the syntax of the correlation statement.
    7. Play the script again.
    8. Fix the server configuration.
    Choose Start > Programs > Mercury LoadRunner >
    Samples > Web > Mercury Web Tours Application to
    open Mercury tours.
    Click SERVER OPTIONS in the left pane. Clear all of the
    options. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the
    Reconfigure Server Details button.
    Close the browser.
