. LoadRunner is a software testing tool from. It is used to test, measuring system behaviour and performance under load. LoadRunner can simulate thousands of users concurrently using application software, recording and later analyzing the performance of key components of the application. LoadRunner simulates user activity by generating messages between application components or by simulating interactions with the user interface such as keypresses or mouse movements.

The messages and interactions to be generated are stored in scripts. LoadRunner can generate the scripts by recording them, such as logging requests between a client web browser and an application's web server. Acquired LoadRunner as part of its acquisition of in November 2006. In Sept 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced it is selling its software business, including Mercury products, to Micro Focus.

As of 01-Sept-2017, the acquisition was complete. Contents. Architecture The key components of LoadRunner are:. Load Generator generates the load against the application by following scripts. VuGen (Virtual User Generator) for generating and editing scripts. Controller controls, launches and sequences instances of Load Generator - specifying which script to use, for how long etc.

During runs the Controller receives real-time monitoring data and displays status. Agent process manages connection between Controller and Load Generator instances. Analysis assembles logs from various load generators and formats reports for visualization of run result data and monitoring data.

The Cause: The problem is that you upgraded FireFox on your machine to version 52. This version is not supported by LoadRunner TruClient. When using TruClient - You should never upgrade FireFox on the that machine. From HP official site: Version 12.53 release notes: Changes to browser version support: Chromium 46 Firefox 40.0.3 Internet Explorer 10 and 11 (Internet Explorer 9 is no longer supported) The solution:. Remove Firefox.

Remove LoadRunner. Reboot your machine. Reinstall LoadRunner.

Not using Truclient protocol? If you are trying to record an HTTP protocol, recording via FireFox is unrecommended. Record your script using Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. When recording HTTP, you can use any browser. It makes no difference whatsoever. When replaying, you can set the User-Agent string under run-time settings or choose FireFox as the replay browser.

Hope this helps.
