Loadrunner Online Test

The LoadRunner Test makes use of scenario-based questions to test for on-the-job skills as opposed to theoretical knowledge, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the relavant skills. The questions are designed to covered following on-the-job aspects:

• Scripting and creating scenarios
• Applying load testing concepts to performance testing
• Analyzing and monitoring performance during load testing
• Enhancing and customizing scripts
• Implementing parameterization and correlation
• Managing think time and pacing
• Analyzing response time and throughput
• Implementing error handling and debugging techniques
• Executing Loadrunner tests and analyzing test results

Once the test is sent to a candidate, the candidate receives a link in email to take the test. For each candidate, you will receive a detailed report with skills breakdown and benchmarks to shortlist the top candidates from your pool.

• Loadrunner Basics

  Loadrunner Basics covers the fundamental concepts and features of Loadrunner, such as its architecture, components, and user interface. It is important to measure this skill in the test to ensure that candidates have a strong foundation and understanding of Loadrunner's basic functionalities before moving on to more advanced topics.

• Scripting and Scenarios

  Scripting and Scenarios assess the candidate's ability to create and modify test scripts in Loadrunner using protocols such as HTTP, Web, or SAP. This skill is crucial as it demonstrates the candidate's proficiency in designing realistic scenarios and accurately simulating user behavior during performance testing.

• Load Testing Concepts

  Load Testing Concepts evaluate the candidate's knowledge of load testing principles, including types of testing, workload modeling, and setting up load profiles. Measuring this skill helps in determining the candidate's ability to analyze and replicate real-world usage patterns in order to simulate realistic loads on the system under test.

• Performance Monitoring and Analysis

  Performance Monitoring and Analysis focuses on the candidate's proficiency in using Loadrunner's monitoring tools and performing in-depth analysis of test results. This skill is important as it showcases the candidate's ability to identify performance bottlenecks, track system resource utilization, and make informed recommendations for performance improvements.

• Script Enhancement and Customization

  Script Enhancement and Customization assesses the candidate's ability to enhance and customize test scripts by incorporating additional features or modifications as per specific testing requirements. This skill is valuable as it demonstrates the candidate's flexibility and adaptability in tailoring scripts to accurately emulate desired user scenarios.

• Parameterization and Correlation

  Parameterization and Correlation evaluate the candidate's knowledge and proficiency in parameterizing and correlating dynamic values and data inputs within the test scripts. This skill is essential to ensure realistic test scenarios by introducing variability in inputs and accurately representing real user interactions with the system.

• Think Time and Pacing

  Think Time and Pacing involve determining the ideal timing and pacing between simulated user actions within a script. This skill is important as it demonstrates the candidate's ability to design test scenarios that mimic the natural pauses and response times typically observed in real user interactions, leading to more accurate performance testing results.

• Response Time and Throughput

  Response Time and Throughput focus on the candidate's understanding of measuring and analyzing response times and throughput of the system under varying loads. This skill is crucial for identifying bottlenecks and optimizing the performance of the application or system under test.

• Error Handling and Debugging

  Error Handling and Debugging assesses the candidate's ability to effectively detect, analyze, and resolve script errors and issues encountered during test execution. This skill is significant as it demonstrates the candidate's troubleshooting capabilities and resilience in handling unexpected situations during performance testing.

• Test Execution and Result Analysis

  Test Execution and Result Analysis evaluates the candidate's proficiency in executing load tests, analyzing test results, and generating comprehensive performance reports. This skill is important as it demonstrates the candidate's ability to interpret and communicate test findings, enabling effective decision-making and performance optimization.
