About LoadRunner Professional
LoadRunner Professional is a load testing tool from OpenText for checking how applications hold up under heavy traffic. It helps teams find slowdowns before real users run into them.
What it does
The tool simulates large numbers of virtual users at once, so a team can measure response times and failures in an application under pressure. Testers build test scripts for user journeys, run them at scale, and review the results to see where a system starts to slow down. It supports a wide range of protocols, which means it can test many kinds of web, mobile, packaged and older systems.
Key features
- Support for over 180 protocols and technologies
- Faster script creation with TruClient and auto-correlation
- Scaling of user load to peak event levels
- Analytics that help pinpoint bottlenecks
- Flexible deployment for shared test teams
Who it's for
Performance engineers and QA teams who need to test large applications before a release. Development teams that want to catch bottlenecks earlier in the build cycle also use it.
Pricing and good to know
OpenText offers a free trial on request, and the product is sold through license bundles. Get a quote from the vendor for exact costs. The tool is built for teams that work together in one location, so it suits groups with a shared testing setup more than individuals who test occasionally.
Highlights
- Supports over 180 protocols for web, mobile, packaged and legacy apps
- Creates test scripts faster with TruClient and auto-correlation
- Scales user load up to ten times a usual application load
- Analytics that help find bottlenecks under load
- Flexible deployment options for shared testing teams
