Experience a decade of seamless performance with robust support

Pros

"I would definitely recommend OpenText LoadRunner Professional to other users."

Cons

"I find that AI functionality in OpenText LoadRunner Professional should be improved and more accessible; if we get a chance to work with that, then we can check how much it helps."

Product version discussed: 2024 -2025
A sophisticated tool that supports many languages and works with all kinds of applications

Pros

"LoadRunner is a very sophisticated tool, and I can use many languages. For example, I can use Java. I can use C++. I can test the Internet of Things, FTP, mail, and Active Directory. It is very useful. "

Cons

"IBM WebSphere MQ testing can be a bit challenging. It can handle that, but I hope that they will build more and more capabilities. We do a huge amount of testing for messaging. Just like aviation, the railway industry is based on messaging. There is messaging to build trains and messaging to create some bills. There are many train movements. Everything involves messaging. I wish that it will be developed more for IBM WebSphere testing. Monitoring is okay, but for testing, I currently have to create Java users. I have to load a lot of libraries from IBM WebSphere and so on. "

Supports AI-enabled load testing and aids in preventing unexpected outages by ensuring infrastructure sizing aligns with the anticipated load

Pros

"We don't find any features lacking. One of the most beneficial points we have from LoadRunner is we start sizing our infrastructure accordingly. So what we do is when we deploy a new workload, we do performance testing. "

Cons

"The only scenario we see a complexity is when we have single-page applications where JavaScript is talking to the server and coming back. That's the only scenario where we find some difficulties."

Compatibility with C and JavaScript enhances its integration with other tools and offers goal-oriented scenario within the workload model

Pros

"When designing a workload model offers a good range of possibilities for creating goal-oriented scenarios, which helps us understand and meet SLAs."

Cons

"LoadRunner experiences high resource utilization. Even though we have machines with higher configurations, I've observed this behavior. Heavy traffic recording results in the tool hanging. So heavy traffic recording makes the tool slow."

Easy to install, offers script reusability and improves product quality through shift-left testing

Cons

"I recently just got to see LoadRunner Developer, but it is still not fully developed to use."

Offers good usability and identify and address issues that arise during peak loads

Pros

"I appreciate its ability to handle various internal calls and its user-friendly interface."

Cons

"I also use the TrueClient feature for browser-based testing. I found the TrueClient feature to be a bit difficult to use and not very user-friendly for automating scripts."

Has more functions than other tools, and that saves a lot of time

Pros

"The most valuable feature depends on what we're doing at the time. In the past, the greatest feature was the ability to record and play back to produce a script. Another great feature is that we can monitor the system. They also support many protocols to perform load testing."

Cons

"The monitoring technology in LoadRunner could be improved. It depends on another tool called SiteScope, but they only took a part of the features of SiteScope. They need to improve on that."

Wide protocol support helps and provides insights but technical support needs improvement

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of LoadRunner Professional is the wide range of protocols it supports, especially the web user v user types."

Cons

"Technical support needs to be faster, and the pricing should be more competitive."
