Micro Focus LoadRunner and its suite of tools, specifically VuGen works wonderfully for us for all web, http/https and web service calls. We've been able to build tests for near any scenario we need with relative ease. As long as we have crafted up requirements for our scenarios / scripts to managed scope, we've had high success working with scripting and data driving. Our main tests are web service calls - typically chained together to form a full scenario with transactions measuring the journey or a similar (measure along the way) journey through a browser. For web services we will use VuGen and browser we've shifted to Tru Client I have had little-to-no experience scripting against a thick client where a ui-driven test would be required. I know its possible but quite costly due to the need to run the actual desktop client to drive tests. We've been fortunate enough to leverage http calls to represent client traffic.

It is very well suited under situations where there is a test required for concurrent users and firing several service calls on the application. It is very good at getting these results accurately. It can test multiple calls at the same time and also has connectivity with the servers. It supports multiple applications and networking technologies by using specific modules.

I Love HP LoadRunner

Below are certain scenarios where HP LoadRunner is well suited:
  • Whenever it is required to simulate the behavior of a real user on a web application or mobile users then it plays a vital role.
  • A deep dive analysis report for each configured metric in the server is observed in the analysis tool and we can put the same in the HTML report if we want that.
  • When you are a beginner with no knowledge of a performance testing scenario, HP LoadRunner is a good choice as it provides great support from HP and excellent documentation as well as online forums for helping out.
Below are some of the scenario where it is less appropriate:
  • If you have a low budget for performance testing for your project and if you know the methodologies of performance testing, you can switch it to some open source tools rather than HP LoadRunner as it is costly for supporting multiple users.
  • If you want to run a test of multiple applications at same time, you cannot use controller to do that as controller is used for performing a test of one application at a time.

It's great to test a front end application which interacts with various DB servers and APIs. The performance reports generated are easy to understand and are very extensive. LoadRunner integration with HP Performance Test Center is a great idea as it helps management folks to easily access the performance test results. Including more monitoring capability within the tool is an area to consider along with the license cost.

When you have challenges in scripting an application that has too many dynamic variables, using a protocol like Ajax Truclient will help in big way and save you a lot of time rather than creating that script in web/http and wasting a lot of time troubleshooting to fix the errors.
