Session 29 - Performance Testing with LoadRunner

Course overview

Uplatz offers comprehensive training on Performance Testing with LoadRunner. This is online video-based training course. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

Performance Testing evaluates an application’s speed, stability, scalability, and responsiveness under varying workloads. It helps teams detect bottlenecks, optimize system performance, and ensure software meets user expectations under real-world conditions.

1. Load Testing – Assesses performance under expected and peak user traffic.

2. Stress Testing – Pushes systems beyond normal limits to identify failure points.

3. Endurance Testing – Checks long-term reliability under sustained loads.

4. Spike Testing – Simulates sudden traffic surges to test resilience.

5. Capacity Testing – Determines maximum user capacity before performance degrades.

LoadRunner is an industry-leading tool for enterprise-grade performance testing. It supports multiple protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP) and simulates thousands of virtual users, making it ideal for:

• Identifying performance bottlenecks

• Validating system scalability

• Ensuring seamless user experiences

While this course focuses on LoadRunner, other widely used tools include:

• Apache JMeter (open-source, supports HTTP/HTTPS, SOAP, JDBC)

• Gatling (high-performance, WebSocket & HTTP testing)

• NeoLoad (web/mobile app testing with real-time analytics)

• BlazeMeter (cloud-based, scalable load testing)

• AppDynamics (real-time application performance monitoring)

• QA engineers, DevOps professionals, and developers

• Aspiring performance testers seeking hands-on LoadRunner expertise

• Teams aiming to optimize application speed and reliability

• Fundamentals of performance testing methodologies

• LoadRunner scripting, execution, and analysis

• Best practices for test planning and reporting

• How to diagnose and resolve performance issues
