LoadRunner – Manual Scenario

LoadRunner - Manual Scenario Preparation

In the LoadRunner manual scenario, the scenario is designed manually. That means you manually instruct the LoadRunner how many users to run and for how long a duration, and in what way the Vusers have to be started and ended. Based on the scenario, the script results will be provided by LoadRunner, like response time, hits per second, no. of Vusers running, etc. To prepare the manual scenario for your load test, you need to follow the steps below:

1. Open “Controller”

2. Choose “Manual Scenario”

12. If you want to overwrite the runtime then use “Run-time setting” options, this will overwrite VuGen run-time setting.

That’s all. Likewise, you can create your performance test scenario (manually). The next step will be to execute the test.
