It's all driven by the script, so it's a script-based tool where the background tracing starts. Java's background process does a lot of tracing. The process starts in the background. It sees what peaks of volumes that the process can handle. It's easy to use because it's script based, record, and playback. I"
"The reports are very relevant to the customers’ expectations."
"The solution is easy to use."
"One of LoadRunner's standout features is its extensive support for various TechStacks and protocols."
"It's fast, easy to use, has a user-friendly UI, and you can split users."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"OpenText LoadRunner Cloud eliminates the need for our own testing infrastructure when running tests."
"The beauty of LoadRunner Cloud is that we can use the load generator that is hosted by us on-premises, and we also have the option to use their hosted load generator. If it is a public-hosted application, we can also use their public-hosted load generator, but in our case, all our applications are hosted in our data center, so we are using the on-premise load generator. We have the option to deploy those load generators as we want."
"I find network traffic testing the most valuable feature."
"It doesn't provide custom reports. You can only use the default reports which contain irrelevant data or is missing data that we need."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert. It would give a heads-up to the architect community or ops community."
"In terms of new features, they can natively integrate with Chaos engineering tools such as Chaos Monkey and AWS FIS. With LoadRunner, we can generate load, and if Chaos tools are also supported natively, it will help to get everything together."
"We did have some challenges with the initial implementation."
"I don't know of any features that should be added. The solution isn't lacking anything at this point."
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."
"I'd like to see more ability to dive more deeply into the configuration."
"The solution could improve by increasing the Gbps speeds and by having better support for storage."
