Introducing LoadRunner Professional

Welcome to LoadRunner Professional and the LoadRunner Professional Help Center.

LoadRunner Professional's load testing solution enables you to test the performance of diverse application types, and to identify and resolve issues before applications go live.

LoadRunner Professional components

The main components of LoadRunner Professional are:
Virtual User Generator (VuGen):

Captures end-user business processes and creates an automated performance testing script, also known as a Vuser script.

The scripts created with VuGen can be used with a number of other Micro Focus products, such as LoadRunner Cloud, Business Process Monitor, and more.

For information on VuGen, see the Virtual User Generator Help Center (select the relevant version).

Controller: Organizes, drives, manages, and monitors the load tests. See Introducing Controller.
Analysis: Helps you view, dissect, and compare the results of the load tests. See Introducing Analysis.
