Flash has client side processing. If you can integrate winrunner/QTP scripts into load runner using GUI license you can measure the response time end to end. Using HTTP protocaol, ine can ony measure the server side response times.Kanthraj.9212264980.

Load and performance test
What is difference between load test and performance test can u explain brief?
psrvasanthi
- Jul 10th, 2008
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.

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

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,.

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.

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.
