OpenText LoadRunner Professional Primary Use Case

HelenSague - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Performance Testing Specialist at Canadian Pacific Railway

Our use case is very complex because our company uses a lot of tools. We have more than 500 applications. Some of them are legacy applications created 40 or 50 years ago. We have applications created with different platforms such as Visual Basic, .Net, and C++. We have different platforms. We have mainframes, but LoadRunner is always perfect. It is able to handle everything.

We primarily use it for load testing. We were seeking AI-enabled load testing, where we could input functional requirements. The idea is that the tool suggests test cases based on those requirements. 

This would help us streamline the process and reduce the time due to our limited staff for load testing, considering we handle around 200 projects a year. Our use case is to address resource constraints.

The main purpose is to simulate realistic scenarios to define and test the performance of different solutions or applications. For example, if there is a project to launch, a mobile app, and you want to see how it's going to perform when it is used by multiple users, OpenText LoadRunner will provide in-depth reports on potential performance bottlenecks and issues.

Multiple protocols are available in LoadRunner, so we can choose one based on our requirements. If it is a single protocol, we have to start recording the scripting and checking whether you can record through LoadRunner. Once the recording is done, we have to do scripting and execution. We have three people working on various applications for the same client. We are working simultaneously and sharing our work to finish our content.

Sr. QA Automation Specialist at Department of Transportation NYC

We use the solution for client service applications, mostly web-based applications. There are a lot of service conversions needed in terms of Apple to Apple talking or using with a protocol. If you need what they're offering then I think LoadRunner is a good tool. And it's from HP. Primary use cases are creating code-based operations for the latest updates, and API calls if we are in corporate. I'm a QA leader and we are customers of Micro Focus LoadRunner.

Based on the requirements, we use Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional. Our clients have their licenses and access. So, we execute in the client environment itself, which involves, basically, running a load test or stress test using the tool and analyzing the system performance with different metrics like server session and clientset.
