HP LoadRunner is an automated performance and test automation product for application load testing: examining system behaviour and performance, while generating actual load. A software testing tool, HP LoadRunner works by creating virtual users who take the place of real users' operating client software, such as Internet Explorer, sending requests using the HTTP protocol to IIS or Apache web servers. HP LoadRunner can simulate thousands of concurrent users to put the application through the rigors of real-life user loads, while collecting information from key infrastructure components (Web servers, database servers etc.) The results can then be analyzed in detail to explore the reasons for particular behavior.

LoadRunner contains the following components:

VuGen:Captures end-user business processes and creates an automated performance testing script, also known as a Vuser script.
Controller:Organizes, drives, manages, and monitors the load test.
Analysis:Helps you view, dissect, and compare the results of the load tests.

Interactive Recording and Scripting : HP TruClient technology (browser-based virtual user that supports next-generation AJAX applications and provides interactive recording and scripting) reduces the amount of time and skill required to script, making testing of Web 2.0 and mobile web applications much comprehensive.
Single Tool Test : Supports performance testing for a wide range of application environments and protocols, including Web/Mobile, Web services, MQ, HTML5 WebSockets AJAX, Flex, Microsoft® Silverlight, RDP, Database, 5250/3270 Terminals, Citrix, Java, .NET, Oracle, and SAP.
Mobile Testing : Tests both Browser based and Native Mobile applications using advanced Network behavior and Service Virtualization. Virtual User Generator supports the following Mobile application scripting methods:
- Server-side traffic capture
- PCAP traffic recording
- Mobile Device Emulator
- Proxy recording
- TruClient Mobile (for mobile-web applications)
Cloud Testing : Runs tests from various locations by scaling tests up and down in the Cloud. Performance tests can be executed from load generators in the cloud or on own premises behind a firewall.
Interaction with development Tools : Integrates performance testing into the development environment including IDE (VisualStudio, Eclipse), Continuous Integration (Jenkins), Build systems. Also supports JUnit, NUnit and Selenium
Performance Analysis & Reporting : Non-intrusive, real-time performance monitors identify application performance bottlenecks using application-layer and code-level data for root cause and analytics.

Performance testing tools,

Permalink Submitted by emailtig on April 4, 2014 - 09:04.

Performance testing tools, commercial or open source, have a place in everyone's "toolbox". At our dev shop we use JMeter and Radview WebLoad. We started out using HP's LoadRunner since the sale rep's demo and trial worked out well. We ran into problems when it came to technical support. Like most development shops there is limited time, everything needs to be done yesterday (at least from the client's perspective). Long response times, days, and incomplete responses drove my QA team to the point of frustration. One of our new hires asked us why we weren't using RadView and that's when we started looking into it. We made the switch a few year ago and have been happy ever since. This isn't to say that LoadRunner is bad, it isn't. It just didn't meet our shop's fast paced support needs, your mileage my vary.
