Reviews

By measuring performance and identifying bottlenecks, we have reduced costs, minimized testing and deployment issues. My company needed a better way to introduce new applications and update existing software releases efficiently. Our past system hindered us from delivering new products and services quickly. To maintain rapid business growth, we realized that seeing the entire IT process during such projects was essential. We required appropriate testing tools to assess processes, manage change, determine application performance, resolve problems and improve defect visibility. We estimate that IT efficiency has improved 24 percent. A recent return on investment study looking into the deployment of HPE Quality Center indicates that over the last three years we have saved approximately $6.75 million.

Excellent load testing capabilities & reports. Quick visibility focusing in on a problem area is extremely helpful. The main reason that we decided to implement LoadRunner was because of our serious lack of insight into exactly where flaws were stemming from when a problem arose or how we could fix those problems earlier and more efficiently in the future. When a problem was found, solutions could only be given after the fact, making the losses bigger and causing more damage than necessary. Each of these products was tested in a wide range of areas that were either commonly known to be problem areas or were considered to be of great importance to remain problem-free. Some included: Secure systems, Overall system substructure, Performance speed and accuracy.

LoadRunner is the best for those who need a full blown product, or a diverse range of protocols to be tested. Valuable Features: The capabilities and flexibility of the Controller, the ability to monitor the systems under test, and the comprehensive results Analysis which saves a great deal of time. Room for improvement: More frequent releases to provide faster support for new browser versions and new protocols would be helpful. Scalability is great, I have personally used LoadRunner with up to 72,000 virtual users, and 35 load generators. Take a good look at your requirements, LoadRunner is the best for those who need a full blown product, or a diverse range of protocols to be tested. However not everyone needs this.
