Course Overview
This two-day course introduces students to advanced topics about OpentText LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE)—cloud load generators, integration with Continuous Integration-Continuous Development (CI-CD), workload modeling, advanced analysis and reporting, network virtualization, Grafana, and InfluxDB.
All topics are supported by practical labs, designed to provide you with the hands-on experience with LRE.
Highlights:
- Exploring LoadRunner architecture and components
- Examining LRE Application and LRE Administrator
- Exploring load generators on the cloud
- Creating workload model tests
- Deep dive performance analysis
- Running CI/CD performance test
- Using network virtualization to enhance performance testing
- Extending monitoring via Influx and Grafana
