Load distribution on TPS (Transactions per seconds)

We can distribute the total number of users in a script randomly, e.g if there are more than one Action in a script and we want to execute it randomly, we can use the below syntax:

===================================================================

int generateRandomTPS; //declaring the variable name

generateRandomTPS = rand() % 99; //Random number between 0 and 100

    //This is check if the randomly generated number is between 0 to 49 then run Action1.
    if ((generateRandomTPS >= 0) && (generateRandomTPS <=49))
         {
            Action1();
          }

//This is check if the randomly generated number is between 50 to 100 then run Action2.
else if ((generateRandomTPS >= 50) && (generateRandomTPS <=100))
        {
          Action2();
        }

Note: It's advisable to create a new action in which you can write the above code.

Pacing Time in LoadRunner

What is Pacing? Where and why to use it? -Pacing is the time which will hold/pause the script before it goes to next iteration. i.e Once the Action iteration is completed the script will wait for the specific time(pacing time) before it starts the next one. It works between two actions. eg, if we record a script there will be three default actions generated by the Load Runner: vuser_init, Action and vuser_end, the pacing will work after the Action block and hold the script before it goes to repeat it. The default blocks generated by LoadRunner is shown below: Actions marked in Red Now we know what is pacing and we use it between two iteration. The next question comes to mind is why we use pacing: Pacing is used to: To control the number of TPS generated by an user. To control number of hits on a application under test. Types of Pacing: There are three options to control the pac...

How CPU impacts the application performance?

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) plays a vital role in determining the performance of an application. Here's how the CPU affects application performance: Processing Power: The CPU is responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations required by the application. A more powerful CPU with a higher clock speed and more cores can handle complex computations and process instructions faster, leading to improved application performance. Response Time: The CPU speed directly influences the response time of an application. A faster CPU can execute instructions more quickly, resulting in reduced response times and faster application performance. Multitasking and Parallel Processing: Modern CPUs with multiple cores allow for the concurrent execution of tasks, enabling better multitasking and parallel processing. This can significantly enhance the performance of applications that can effectively utilize multiple threads or processes. Bottlenecks: CPU bottlenecks can occur whe...

What is Performance Testing and why it is important?

We spend most of our time by browsing Facebook, watching videos, uploading photos and many other online activities. Have you ever noticed if you are watching a video and all of sudden the website goes down? If you are trying to book an online ticket and on the payment page, the website stops responding? If you are adding the last available item on sale in the shopping cart and the website gets hung? Isn't it stressful? For every growing business, it's very crucial to keep a tap on the performance of their application. If a website takes more than 2 seconds to respond then users tend to move to some other website which can cause a huge business loss. Let's say you are on a retail website and browsing for some item that takes around 2-3 seconds to respond to each click or loading the page. In most cases, the user will go for some other website. Performance Testing gives an idea about how the system is going to behave on load and can help the business owners to ...
