We currently use LoadRunner for performance testing our web apps, but we also have some server side processes we need to test. Background: We call these processes our "engines". One engine receives messages by polling an IBM WebSpere MQ queue for messages. It takes a message off the queue, processes it, and puts the result on an outbou...
Im very new to loadrunner. I couldnt find any online material on running stored procs (for mssql) for loadrunner script. it says it need to be ansi c. I even wrote a c# that connects to db and call the stored proc in question and then used it for "recording" the task. after running it, it didnt generate the script i was hoping for. is th...

Hi, Can someone point out the major differences between Loadrunner and Performance center ? My little research shows that both can be used for load testing and performance monitoring. What additional features are provided by Performance center? Is VUGen a part of Performance center? Please share your thoughts. ...
We have an asp.net 3.5 web app that we must start load testing with LoadRunner What we have found is that if you open several browsers (ie8) they share the same session id, so making a change in one window impacts the other windows (not just our app, others app also). Now, LoadRunner can simulate a number of users per pc, and so we are...
I have had this debate with some peers off and on for a while. I am certified in the HP tools, but have been spending more and more time with VSTS Test Edition 2008. I am looking for opinions on what people think of the future of both products and how they compete. LoadRunner's strengths include its vast array of protocols supported. ...
Well, it figures that Loadrunner is not easy to install. Apprently, we need: ➤ .NET Framework 3.5 ➤ Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1 (or later) ➤ Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 ➤ Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 ➤ Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) ➤ Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable ...
We have a Flex app that we are trying to test with Load Runner. The application runs just fine when run stand-alone in a browser. When the app initializes, an XML properties file is loaded. When trying to access the same application (using the same URL) with LoadRunner, a Fault occurs when trying to load the same properties file that ...
Hi, I recently started working in LoadRunner 9.0, and I usually record scripts using a proxy connection. But recently I was asked to test the site using a direct connection. I've changed the proxy settings to No-proxy in run-time settings. But now when I try to record the script, the website takes a long time to load. When the site is b...
Hi, I cannot find the basic information about LoadRunner: does it record browser actions (like QTP) or network traffic (I mean packet sniffering?). It is not clear to me since there is Script view that resembles QTP object actions. But on the other hand there is no browser opened when running the tests. I would need to understand how it ...
I am trying to find out if there are any relevant measurements that LoadRunner can track, when running a load test - where it can allow me to monitor the number of active outbound ports from a given windows 2003 box. i am seeing that there are various measurements specific to CLR and IIS - such as current connections, but i am looking ...
Hello, I am using web.custom_request() Java Web Vuser function to send a request to server. Now I want to know how can I capture the response in my Vuser script? I am not able to successfully do it using web.reg_save_param() Java Web Vuser function. Any pointers are appreciated. Thank you Chaitanya ...
How do you isolate a performance issue to a specific component of the application infrastructure? Specifically, are there distinct markers in the result logs that distinguish between bottlenecks at web, application and/or database server levels? I was asked this question in an interview and went blank on it. Seems this information is n...
I'm attempting to decode the contents of the "graph_*.dat" files under the sum_data/ folder in a raw results file, obtained from Performance Center. I've figured out the 1st (Transaction name), 2nd (Unix timestamp) and 3rd (response time) columns but there are 4 more that do not really make sense to me. Could someone please explain them...
I understand that VUGen's web_set_timeout function allows me to set a timeout value higher than the usual value (which seems to be 120 seconds). What I do not understand: Doesn't this imply that all users would have to set their browser http POST timeout config value to a new, higher value? Don't I then test with a (simulated/virtual) u...
There are a couple of sources for random in LoadRunner scenarios: rand () function Random think time deltas (runtime settings) Random pacing time components (runtime settings) Random parameters (as part of the VUGen test) I use those functionalities, and I could live with their pseudorandomness. I cannot, however, live with the fa...
Hi, I know there some experienced loadRunner users around so I would like to ask (as I was not able to find the answer on my own): Is the content checking available only for webpages? I mean, I cannot check for content in win32 apps, right? Thank you! ...
After recording just the appearance of the logon window of our Java app in LR/VUgen 9.51 using the RMI protocol, the resulting script replays with a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. The code fragment looks like this: _hashtable2 = new Hashtable(); _object_array3 = ((java.util.Collection)_hashtable2.values()).toArray(); _hashtab...
