Performance testing tool: LoadRunner

LoadRunner™ (sometimes mistakenly called Load Runner) is a performance testing tool from Mercury used for predicting system behavior and identifying performance issues. It is an element of the Mercury Performance Center™.

LoadRunner overview

LoadRunner allows you to emulate hundreds or thousands of concurrent users in order to performance test how an application operates under these conditions. With LoadRunner, you can:
  • Obtain an accurate picture of end-to-end system performance.
  • Verify that new or upgraded applications meet specified performance requirements.
  • Identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks during the development lifecycle
LoadRunner has also been customised and certified to work with ERP/CRM applications from PeopleSoft, Oracle, SAP, and Siebel as well as web-based applications.
