Load Runner
LoadRunner is an automated load testing tool that allows you to test your application before during and after deployment. This course is designed to give you a firm foundation in basic load testing tasks.
The LoadRunner Controller and Analysis will be covered in this course. You will create and run load test scenarios using the Controller. The Analysis is used to analyze load test results. You will learn to work with the graphs to display data after a test is run.
