LoadRunner Cloud end-to-end workflow
A typical workflow for creating and running a test with LoadRunner Cloud is as follows:
-
Create a script and upload it to the cloud repository.
Scripts form the backbone of your performance test. Your test definition can contain one or more scripts. For more information on working with scripts, see Scripts.
-
Configure monitors.
Application and server monitors can be configured and added to your test definition. For more information on working with monitors, see Monitors.
-
Define a load test.
You add and configure scripts, monitors, Vusers, and SLAs to a load test definition. Vusers are virtual users that emulate user actions on a variety of levels, such as UI emulation or API commands. For details, see Define a load test.
-
Run the test.
Run the test according to your configuration and observe the real time results in the dashboard. For details, see Run a load test.
-
Analyze the results.
After the load test has completed, view the Dashboard and see Report to learn about your application's performance.
For information about downloadable logs and exportable reports, see View results.
