Learn LoadRunner through hands-on training and real-world projects. Gain practical skills in performance testing, load testing, stress testing, and application monitoring to ensure software reliability and scalability.
LoadRunner Training is a structured and comprehensive learning program that teaches software testers, performance engineers, and QA professionals how to effectively use HP LoadRunner (now officially known as Micro Focus LoadRunner) — one of the world’s most powerful and widely adopted performance and load testing tools — to simulate thousands of concurrent virtual users on applications and accurately measure system behavior under various load conditions. LoadRunner is an enterprise-grade performance testing tool used by organizations worldwide to identify bottlenecks, performance degradation, scalability issues, and system failures before applications are deployed to production environments.
Establish your performance testing foundation. Master the LoadRunner architecture, perform component installations, and get introduced to the VUSER concept, VUGEN interface, and recording best practices.

I personally enjoyed the assignments and quizzes at Kasha Training. I completed the LoadRunner Courses from Kasha Training.
Effective scripting starts with pre-recording settings. You will learn to identify the correct protocol for your application, manage single or multi-protocol recording modes, and organize your VUSER script using multiple Actions (Init, Action, End) for modular execution.
Content checks ensure your script is interacting with the expected application page. You will learn to use LoadRunner’s inbuilt content checks for common scenarios and gain skills to build custom content checks tailored to specific application responses or error codes.
A Load Generator is a machine that runs VUSER scripts to simulate virtual user load. We use them to distribute the traffic load across multiple machines, preventing your Controller from becoming a bottleneck during high-concurrency performance testing.
Every VUSER script is divided into three execution blocks: vuser_init (for logins and startup), Action (the core business process), and vuser_end (for logouts and cleanup). Correct segmentation is vital for accurate performance metrics.
