LoadRunner - Interview Question #3

Q. 11 Mention what is the benefit of Load Runner on testing tools?
Ans: Benefit of LoadRunner testing tools is
  • Versatility
  • Test Results
  • Easy Integrations
  • Robust reports
  • Enterprise Package
Q. 12 What is the extended log?
Ans. The extended log is used for script debugging purpose. It stores the additional information such as data returned by the server, an advanced trace, parameter substitution etc. depending on the options you select in run-time settings. To get more details on the LoadRunner log, click here.

Q. 13 What is the Rendezvous point?
Ans. Rendezvous point helps in emulating heavy user load (request) on the server. This instructs Vusers to act simultaneously. When the Vuser reaches the Rendezvous point, it waits for all Vusers with Rendezvous point. Once designated numbers of Vusers reaches it, the Vusers are released. lr_rendezvous() is used to create the Rendezvous point. This can be inserted by:
a. Rendezvous button on the floating Recording toolbar while recording. 
b. After recording Rendezvous point is inserted through Insert -> Rendezvous.

Q. 14 Why do you create a parameter?
Ans. The parameter is created to replace the hard-coded value within the script with a parameter. This allows a single Vuser to be run many times with different values, and to use different data on each run. It helps in stimulating more real-life server demand as it prevents a server from caching results. There are multiple options available for parameterization and its setting in LoadRunner. These options are well described here

Q.15 What is the benefit to divide the script into multiple Actions?
Ans. The script can be divided into multiple Actions based on the functionality like Login, Search, Logout etc. The main advantage to divide the Action part is to increase the code reusability, reduce maintenance time and hence it decreases the cost.
