Topics / Speakers:
PRESENTATION #1
LoadRunner Test Results and Analysis: Real-World Case Studies
Scott Moore
Founder and CEO Northway Solutions
Synopsis:
The Analysis component of LoadRunner is a powerful engine for viewing test results, but often the amount of data is staggering. How does one filter out what isn’t important so the “truth” can bubble up? Scott Moore of Northway Solutions Group will present real-world use cases to view, filter, and sort the information in Analysis to make the test results more understandable to technical and non-technical roles. It will cover the available graphs in LoadRunner Analysis, Monitors, Importing data post-testing, and customizing reports that are shared with other team members. It will review best practices for identifying common bottlenecks within the graphs of Analysis.
Brief Biography:
With over 20 years of IT experience with various platforms and technologies, Scott has tested some of the largest applications and infrastructures in the world. He has mentored and developed testing services for “Big Five” services firms, top insurance companies, and major financial institutions in the US.
