If I can write a test script using one virtual user that will log onto my system as 100 different users, what does a virtual user really mean?

Script and Data pool are the two mandatory things to simulate n number of virtual users. first we need to record/develop a script for our transaction. Then we have to create datapool according to...

hi,Also u can consider the data pool in the performance test.U can include the data form the data pool to smulate the same effect.tks hiran

We are using LoadRunner v8.0. for testing the load of a .NET application. The problem is, 'recorded and the replay images are not exactly the same'. Though it seems to be an issue, the system (test results) is not showing any error. It just shows no errors. 1.Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for such a behaviour of the system?2.Can we use check points in load runner?

When the script is running we find some values that may be need to correlated? is it possible to do manual correlation for that values?
moresunil8

Yes its possible to corelate at the time of runtime. We can check it in run time settings.

Hi,yes it is possible, but before doing manual correlation, scan the script for correlation using LR option in VUGen.If that value is not correlated using correlation studio then proceed with manual correlation.cheers

What is throughput and how we can measure it during load testing?

Hi,Throughput is nothing but the amount of data return by the server(bytessec) for the request we sent.It is includede in the client side statistics... so while executing the load test Thorughput graph will gerenate...Cheerssandy

What criteria would you use to select Web transactions for load testing?
Anshoo_Arora
- Nov 7th, 2007
You can use a transaction (lr_start_transaction in LR) everytime the client submits a request to the server. As for what criteria is to be used, you can use it whenever you want to test for server response times.

What is the difference between lr_endtranscation("transcationname",lr_auto)lr_endtranscation("transcationname",lr_pass)lr_endtranscation("transcationname",lr_fail)
Anshoo_Arora

LR_AUTO: It will return the actual status as detected by the tool.LR_PASS: No matter what status you get, this transaction status will return a PASS code.LR_FAIL: Likewise, this will return a FAIL code.

U have to give the state of the transaction. In the given case the first one is right as it has a state of transaction. Where in the second case its not given. Every lr transaction u have to give the end statelr_auto is the state of transaction given in first case

What is performance baseline testing and at what stage of testing it is used
reachsanthan

Testing the application with minimum(we use 10% of total load) no.of users to establish the performance testing goals for any new application or enhanced applications.

This depends from company to company actually and especially the testers. However, it should be done in the initial load-testing stages and may/may not be used as a benchmark.- Anshoo Arora

How can data caching have a negative effect on load testing results?
kanthrajgowda
- May 23rd, 2008
Data cacheing do not have a negative effect on load testing results. In iother words the more data is cached on to your primary memory, it boosts the performance.To eliminate the effect of server side cacheing, parameterise the required data wherever necessary.Regards,Kanthraj.9212264980,.

Have cookies/cached data from the respective server on your machine can decrease transaction response time. This is not good practice when load testing an application. Thus, try to parameterize y...

What criteria would you use to select Web transactions for load testing?
kanthrajgowda
- May 23rd, 2008
Good idea is to get the business profile from the business analyst. Business profile desribes what are the transactions required and number of users doing the particular transaction over a period of time.Thanks, Kanthraj.9212264980
Tanmay Bhide
- Sep 25th, 2007
The criteria can be of two types: Functional based or Technical based.Functional based criteria implies 1. Business priority2. Volume of transactions /day, /hourTechnical based criteria implies1. Complexity of Code2. Search based screens3. Read/Write scenarios

As replied above it could be a case of memory leak. You may confirm memory leak be looking at your app server logs for errors like OurOfMemoryexceptions. Other possible reason could be you RAM may not have neough space..try increasing the RAM size...

Load and performance test
What is difference between load test and performance test can u explain brief?
psrvasanthi

Load testing:testing the application w.r.t no. of users and checking the response time. performance testing:increasing the no. of users beyond the limit hitting the same request and checking for the response time.
