Explain Complete Steps in The LoadRunner Testing Process?

LoadRunner is an industry-leading performance and load testing product by Hewlett-Packard (since it acquired Mercury Interactive in November 2006) for examining system behavior and performance, while generating actual load.
LoadRunner can emulate hundreds or thousands of concurrent users to put the application through the rigors of real-life user loads, while collecting information from key infrastructure components (Web servers, database servers etc). The results can then be analysed in detail, to explore the reasons for particular behaviour.

Developing a comprehensive test plan is a key to successful load testing. A clearly defined test plan ensures that the LoadRunner scenarios you develop will accomplish your load testing objectives.

The following pages describes the Controller window and explains how to perform basic scenario operations.

Opening the Controller

Selecting LoadRunner Commands

Managing Scenario Files

Filtering and Sorting Information

Using Controller Layouts

During scenario execution, Vusers generate result data as they perform their transactions.
After running a scenario, you can view the results to determine how your system performed. You can view scenario results in several ways:

The Analysis graphs and reports provide information about transactions and Vusers that can be used to determine system performance.

New Tuning Module Add-In

The LoadRunner Tuning Module allows customers to isolate and resolve system performance bottlenecks. Once the application has been stress tested using LoadRunner, the Tuning Module provides component test libraries and a knowledgebase that help users isolate and resolve performance bottlenecks.
