Loadrunner Practice Exam

Loadrunner Practice Exam

LoadRunner is a software which was developed by Micro Focus for performance testing, to test applications, websites, and software under different load conditions. It simulates virtual users as per the load condition to measures the performance and scalability of the software under test. It helps to identify performance issues, and scalability limits beyond which performance will degrade.
