Loadrunner Controller

Once a script is prepared in Vugen, it is run via the Controller. Each run is called as a scenario with some preset settings. LoadRunner provides for the usage of various machines to act as LoadGenerators. For example, to run a test of 100 users, we can use three or more machines with Loadgenerator installed in them. The tester will then provide the script and the name of the machine which is going to act as a load generator along with the number of users who are going to run from that machine. LoadRunner uses Monitors to monitor the performance of individual components. But each monitor is to be purchased separately from Mercury. Some monitors include Oracle Monitors, WebSphere Monitors, etc... Once a scenario is set and the run is completed, the result of the scenario can be viewed via the Analysis tool
