Course Overview

This courses focuses on using Load Runner to load test Web applications. You will create test scenarios and run them using the Load Runner Controller. You will use the Load Runner Analysis component to interpret load test results. The information gathered during planning is used to create and enhance scripts specific to Web applications using the Virtual User Generator (VuGen) component of Load Runner.

All topics are supported by hands-on exercises designed to provide you with the knowledge to load test your applications in the Web environment.
