4-5710 – LoadRunner Professional (LRP) Essentials

Course code: OPENTLRPE

This three-day, basic course introduces you to the OpenText TM LoadRunner Professional (LRP) application. The course is designed for beginners and describes the basic load-testing tasks. You will create a sample performance test script using Virtual User Generator (VuGen) and design and run load test scenarios using the Controller.
You will also learn to work with graphs to display data after executing a test. The hands-on labs are designed to provide you with the knowledge necessary to execute scenarios in the Controller and view the results in the Analysis tool.

Highlights:

• Overview of performance testing and the LoadRunner family
• Describe LRP architecture and components
• Create a sample performance test script using VuGen
• Plan and design an effective performance test
• Execute and analyze performance test results
