Hi

I urgently need a substantial answer for one Q on Vusers -
Performance Center. Hope you could help me.

Q : My application is intended to undergo soon the load
testing with performance center. The Vusers we planned are
100. But the dev team says that we should use 100 different
UserID/Password's & each Virtual user should login into a
different account while testing.

Firstly, is this required ? my application can handle
multiple logins for the same userid/password, hence is it
mandatory to use 100 different account when we can do the
same test with one account. If so, for 1000 Vusers we
cannot use 1000 logins right ? I need substantial info to
prove my point.

Secondly, is this possible to assign a different userid/pwd
to each Virtual user ?

Thanks in advance & awating your reply

hi harsha

if your application Functionality is similar to yahoo messanger functionality(if you login into yahoo with same username and password from 2 differnt location one user will be automatically loggedout)then you need to have different user i mean to say 1000 user.but if the functionality is not defined like that you can you only once account.

load runner has a feature of running all the user in different browser so each login is consider as a differnt if you use single account.


if u pump 1000 user with differnt accounts thousand recrd would be created in thousand accounts.but if you pump 1000 user for 1 accounts 1000 records would be created for once user which can help you find out any problem easily when compared with 1000 different logins.


please let me know if you need any further clarification.
