Do’s:

• After each performance test run, clear the logs for database and application. Large log files may result in inaccurate performance results.
• To mirror the production environment, identify the correct software and hardware for server.

Two tasks for Parametrization in LoadRunner:

• Replacing the constant values with parameters (in Vuser script)
• Setting the properties and data source for the parameters

Once the recording of Vuser is done, then, next step is to enhance the capabilities of the script by adding some functions. Here, in this post, I’m going to describe some basic and most commonly used function categories in brief:

• General Vuser Functions: The Vuser functions which have LR as prefix are general functions. These functions enhance the functionality of any Vuser Script to a great extent.

Scenarios: Scenarios define the events that occur during each testing session. In LoadRunner, we can divide the performance testing requirements into multiple scenarios. Basically, a scenario defines and controls:

• Number of Vusers to emulate
• Actions that they perform
• Machines on which they run
