LoadRunner

LoadRunner

85% Practical Hands-On and 15% theory. 2 Days weekends or Weekdays.

OVERVIEW

LoadRunner is an automated load testing tool that allows you to test your

application before,during, and after deployment. This course is designed to

give you a firm foundation in basic load testing tasks. The LoadRunner

Controller and Analysis will be covered in this course. You will create and

run load test scenarios using the Controller. The Analysis is used to analyze

load test results.You will learn to work with graphs to display data after a

test is run. All topics are supported by hands-on labs designed to provide

you with the knowledge necessary to load test your system using LoadRunner.
