HP Load Runner is
an automated performance and test automation product from Hewlett-Packard for
application load testing: examining system behavior and performance, while
generating actual load. HP acquired Load Runner as part of its acquisition of Mercury
Interactive in November 2006
A software testing tool, HP Load Runner works by creating
virtual users who take the place of real users' operating client software, such
as Internet Explorer, sending requests using the HTTP protocol to IIS or Apache
web servers. HP Load Runner can simulate thousands of concurrent users to
put the application through the rigors of real-life user loads, while
collecting information from key infrastructure components (Web servers,
database servers, etc. The results can then be analyzed in detail to
explore the reasons for particular behavior.
HP Load Runner supports various protocol bundles for load
testing: .NET Record/Replay, Database, DCOM, GUI Virtual Users, Java
Record/Replay, Network, Oracle E-Business, Remote Access, Remote Desktop, Rich
Internet Applications, SAP, SOA, Web 2.0, Web and Multimedia and Wireless.
HP Load Runner can be run standalone (the classical way to
run it, with a controller and several load generators as the main components)
geared towards one or two persons using each controller or as part of HP Performance
Center (which pools together several controllers, all load generators,
adding a web site, schedulers and more to facilitate sharing of the Load Runner
resources among many users.
