Generally LoadRunner uses to test the load. ( client-
server, webbased applications,... etc).
Shall we use LoadRunner instead of WinRunner or some other
tools?

Answer / praveen
You can,
Load runner or any tool is to validate the fucntionality of
the requerments. After analysing the functional requirement
only we send the product(combination of fuctions) to know
the performance. But in Functional tools we cant generate
the users(vitual).
So Loadrunner = n * Functional tools (N=No of users)

First u should know abt load LR and WR. WR is a
functionality and regression testing tool.LR is a load
testing tool.there is no way to use LR instead of WR.

Answer / sowmya
Hi load testing is for testing the load how a application
can bear the load.where as WR is used for functional and
regression testing

Answer / rajaram
we cannot use it completely as a functionality tool.
rather,Functionality under load can be tested by running
several Vusers concurrently. By increasing the amount of
Vusers, we can determine how much load the server can
sustain.

Answer / satish
No...not at all bcoz, WR is Functional Tool whereas LR is
Performance Tool

Answer / ravi v v
Actually, The Question looks quite confusing.
If the Question is asking about to test ultimately "LOAD",
then definitly, WR is not a tool to do so. We must use any
Perfomance Tools like LR, Jmeter, Open Sta...etc.,.
also, Performace Testing is a Non Functional Activity.
Hence the tools are Non Functional tools. On flip side, the
WR is Pure Functional Tool and hence used to test the
functional requirments.
if question is in other way around, The 7th Answer is
correct one.

Answer / santosh
First we have to understand difference between load Runner
& winruner, winrunner is totally fuctional & regression
testing tool other hand loadrunner is a load testing tool,
so here we cant use the winrunner & loadrunner for same
purpose both are totally different.

where do u use manual scenario and Goal oriened scenario ?
What are the parameters in Load Runner?
we have auto correlation, so why do we need to perform the manual correlation
what is latency and bandwidth
Can we able to record the vuser script in UNIX environment?
Hi i have installed LR 8.0v on my system and wanted to test siebel web application. when i tried to record the application throught siebel web protocol, the launcher tries to connect to that URL but after some time the URL gives as Page Cannot Be Displayed, the same URL when we login manually it works fine. LR is not able to connect to the Application. What could be the reason?
How do you load a load runner agent?
how many performance test scripts have you written? what was the performance issues you had? what did you recommended to that issues? what kind of performance requirements did you have? how did you tune the system for performance? how did you ramped up the users? how did you find the bottlenecks of the system? did you find any coding issues and if yes what kinds of?
In which scenario, we should use "Vuser as Process" rather than "Vuser as Thread" and what is advantage of "Vuser as Process" option. (Please do not describe about Vuser as thread or advantages of vuser as thread).
Hi I am to load runner ,please let me know what is the actual process of load runner and how to use it
How did you find web server related issues?
How can we capture 200 correlation value then how can handle it dyanamically.
