String Comparison in Loadrunner script


How to compare a string in Loadrunner script?

-There are various methods to compare a string, in below example we have used "strcmp" to compare two values. We have captured a string in "pComparisonString" parameter and comparing it with ABC. Lets say if you have captured some string using correlation and want to compare if the captured string meets the condition then only pass the transactions else fail the transaction:

if (strcmp(lr_eval_string("{pComparisonString}"),"ABC") == 0)
 {
 lr_output_message("The parameter value is %s", lr_eval_string("{pComparisonString}"));
lr_end_transaction("Transaction_Failed",LR_FAIL);
 }
else
{
 lr_error_message("No parameter value captured.");
 lr_end_transaction("Transaction_Passed",LR_PASS);
}

--------------------------------------------------------
strcmp- String comparison function.

pComparisonString- String which we have captured for comparison.

ABC- string with which we want to compare, you can replace it with the actual value.

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...

How to write or print data in notepad using append mode?

We can use the below function to print a value in notepad using append mode, it will keep on adding the data in notepad. This function can be used for data filtration from a parameter file. long fd; char buff[100]; web_reg_save_param("cRequest_id","LB=---","RB=---","ORD=1",Last); //Before closing the Action strcpy( buff,lr_eval_string("{cRequest_id}") ); fd=fopen( "C:\\NotepadName.txt","a" ); fprintf( fd,"%s\n",buff ); fclose( fd ); } In this example we are capturing the cRequest_id from correlation and printing in notepad.
