LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE) Essentials 2-5700 [MF_2-5700-241]

OVERVIEW

This three-day course introduces you to the OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE) application. This course is designed to give you a foundation for basic load testing tasks. You create performance test assets,design load tests,configure monitoring profiles,define Service Level Agreement (SLA),and run load tests through LRE.

The hands-on labs are designed to provide you with the knowledge necessary to create scripts in VuGen,execute scenarios in LRE,and view the results in the Analysis tool.

Highlights:

• Discuss LRE architecture and components
• Overview of LRE Admin
• Create assets in LRE
• Plan and design an effective performance test
• Configure monitoring profiles and Network Virtualization,define SLA
• Execute and analyze performance test results
