1 LR01IT LoadRunner 12.0 Interactive Training by ART Course No.: LR01IT-120 Category/Sub Category: Application Performance Testing/LoadRunner For software version(s): 12.0 Course length: Online Course Delivery formats: Self-paced To order visit: Course Description This course introduces you to LoadRunner 12.0, and includes topics about the Virtual User Generator (VuGen), Controller, and Analysis tools. This course is designed to give you a foundation in basic load testing tasks. You create and run load test scenarios using the Controller. The Analysis tool is used to analyze load test results. You learn to work with the graphs to display data after a test is executed. Audience / Job Roles Users of the LoadRunner application. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to: Identify information that needs to be gathered for load testing. Identify the components of LoadRunner. Apply the workflow recommended for creating a basic LoadRunner scenario. Assign scripts, run-time settings, performance monitors, load generators and Vusers to a LoadRunner scenario based on your load testing goals. Load test your application by running a scenario. Understand the Virtual User Generator (VuGen) scripting tool. Use VuGen to record and run user actions on the application to be load tested. Plan, create, and enhance VuGen scripts in the web environment. Create and run load test scenarios using the Controller tool. Use the analysis tool to analyze load test results and graphs to display data after a test is executed.
