LoadRunner Professional integrates and enhances the value of widely used open source and 3rd party development, testing, monitoring and DevOps tools, making it easy to combine with continuous integration and continuous deployment frameworks (such as Jenkins). I believe you already aware of recent changes in Micro Focus products.It has been couple months since LoadRunner Professional 2020 has announced. Couple days ago, Micro Focus has released its first service pack of LoadRunner Professional and LoadRunner Enterprise.

LoadRunner is a software testing tool from Micro Focus. It is used to test applications, measuring system behaviour and performance under load. LoadRunner can simulate thousands of users concurrently using application software, recording and later analyzing the performance of key components of the application.

LoadRunner simulates user activity by generating messages between application components or by simulating interactions with the user interface such as keypresses or mouse movements. The messages and interactions to be generated are stored in scripts. LoadRunner can generate the scripts by recording them, such as logging HTTP requests between a client web browser and an application's web server.^[1]

Hewlett Packard Enterprise acquired LoadRunner as part of its acquisition of Mercury Interactive in November 2006.^[2][3] In Sept 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced it is selling its software business, including Mercury products, to Micro Focus.^[4] As of 01-Sept-2017, the acquisition was complete.^[5]

On Dec 12, 2019, Micro Focus announced newer names for LoadRunner package and started following CalVer. ^[6]

• LoadRunner is now LoadRunner Professional 2020
• Performance Center is now LoadRunner Enterprise 2020
• StormRunner Load is now LoadRunner Cloud 2020

Architecture[edit]

The key components of LoadRunner are:

• Load Generator generates the load against the application by following scripts
• VuGen (Virtual User Generator) for generating and editing scripts
• Controller controls, launches and sequences instances of Load Generator - specifying which script to use, for how long etc. During runs the Controller receives real-time monitoring data and displays status.
• Agent process manages connection between Controller and Load Generator instances.
• Analysis assembles logs from various load generators and formats reports for visualization of run result data and monitoring data.

Modules are available to enable LoadRunner to capture, replay and script different application and networking technologies. These include support for:^[7]

• applications using Microsoft .NET and Java
• database servers such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle
• internetworking protocols such as DNS, FTP and LDAP
• e-mail protocols including IMAP, MAPI, POP3 & SMTP
• remote client technologies such as Citrix ICA and RDP.

LoadRunner can be run standalone or multiple instances can pooled for use by several people under the control of LoadRunner Enterprise, formerly known as HP PerformanceCenter.

History[edit]

LoadRunner Cloud 2020[edit]

From 2010 Hewlett Packard started to offer on-demand versions of LoadRunner available by cloud computing services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and later Microsoft Azure.^[14][15] Version 12.50 added the use of Google Compute Engine. Selected HP partners are also able to provide LoadRunner in the Cloud as an on-demand service from their SaaS platforms.

StormRunner Cloud has been renamed as LoadRunner Cloud 2020.

Scripting Languages[edit]

LoadRunner client emulation scripts are usually created using the ANSI C programming language.^[16] However, Java^[17] and .Net programs can also be run by LoadRunner. Version 12.50 added the use of JavaScript for Web-HTTP/HTML scripts.

Scripts from other testing tools such as Apache JMeter, Gatling, NUnit, and Selenium can be run by LoadRunner by declaring an interface library. This enables scripts to send key-value pairs to the Controller as the script runs, enabling response times to be associated with specific conditions such as the number of items displayed in the User Interface.

LoadRunner scripts can also be called from within Jenkins.

Support for JMeter Tests[edit]

LoadRunner 12.55 enables testers to run Apache JMeter scripts from Controller, alongside Vuser scripts can view the results to LoadRunner measurements. This feature is provided as beta version.^[18]

Getting Started with LoadRunner, Eclipse and Selenium

Before you begin, save yourself some time and make sure that you're using the 32bit version of Eclipse

. I actually had an issue getting this to work at first, and had to open a ticket with HP support. The resolution was changing to 32bit Eclipse, after which everything worked fine.

Also — you need LoadRunner 12, but the good news is that LoadRunner 12 is now free to use for up to 50 concurrent users. So go ahead and download and follow along – it's free.

Install the LoadRunner Eclipse Add-in

• First, run the LREclipseIDEAddinDevSetup.exe from the LR install under Additional ComponentsIDE Add-Ins DEV
  

• The HPLoadRunner Eclipse Add-in for Developers Setup should appear. Click Next.

• Point to the location where you have the eclipse.exe located.

• Take the rest of the defaults.

• Once the wizard is completed, run the eclipse-clean option from either the command line or by adding the –clean in the target clause (I find this way easier).

• Using the –clean parameter will force Eclipse to rebuild your plugin cache.
• Once Eclipse starts up you should have a new menu option named DevOps Vuser

Create a Selenium test in LoadRunner

Cool! Now that we have everything configured, let's create a simple selenium script and add some LoadRunner transactions to it. I'll assume that you already have a project that includes the Java Selenium language bindings. (If not, you can get step-by-step instructions on how to do this by following my previous post Selenium 2.0 WebDriver – How to Get Started with Eclipse.)

• In your Eclipse project, create a New Java Class named LoadRunnerSelenium. Be sure to select the public static void main checkbox option.

• Add the following imports:

• Add the following code under your void main:
  

• Run the test and make sure it passes

Loadrunner Software

Adding LoadRunner Transactions to Selenium Script

Now let's add some LoadRunner transactions. A LoadRunner transaction is a step added to a script that measures one or more actions. Without transactions, LR would not be able to take measurements.

For our script we will be using the Start and End transaction steps. These transactions are used to measure the duration of a particular flow or event. In our example it will measure the amount of time it takes for the Google homepage to load.

• In Eclipse, under DevOps Vuser, select the Add LoadRunner API Reference to Project option.

• You should now have the import statement at the top of your script. (If you don't, just type it in.)

import lrapi.lr;

• Add an lr.start_transaction(“Google_Search_Page”) right before our assert statement.
  
• Add an lr.end_transaction(“Google_Search_Page”, lr.PASS); make sure the transaction names are exactly the same.
  

• After the end transaction, add driver.quit();
• From the Devops Vuser menu, select Run Vuser
  
• The test should now run without issues.

Run the Selenium test from LoadRunner Controller

Now that we have our script, we can create a performance test scenario to run within the LoadRunner controller. The HP LR Controller is used to organize and manage scenarios. It is basically our performance test dashboard. In the controller is where we can specify our scripts and how many concurrent users to run. It also allows us to display the execution status of each Vuser and monitor performance resources.

In Eclipse, select the DevOps Vuser>Launch Controller option:

• In the Create Scenario dialog, enter:

• Select Manual Scenario
• Number of Vusers 2

Result Directory: I have mine in D:DownloadLrSelenium

• In the HP LoadRunner Controller, click on Run (the default run time is 5 minutes).

The test scenario should run for the specified time, and you'll also be able to see how long the avg time for the Google_Search_Page was.

We don't have time today to go into all the different settings you can set in the controller, but you should now have the knowledge needed to create some basic Selenium scripts and run them in LoadRunner.
