Course Overview:
The LoadRunner Foundations training course covers the basic topics of LoadRunner to enable you to
record scripts with the Virtual User Generator, customize them and use them to formulate performance
test suites using the LoadRunner Controller. You will create VUGen script to create scenarios and run
load test scenarios using the Controller. All topics are supported by hands-on exercises designed to
provide you with the knowledge to load test your applications in the Web environment.
