Parameter properties in LoadRunner

Static input to the server (or) vary input to the server.

NOTE:

Whichever the values you entered through keyboard those values should be parametrise.

Parameter Types:

1.     File

2.     Date & Time

3.     Iteration Number

4.     Load generator Name

5.     Random Number

6.     Table

7.     Unique Number

8.     VuserID

9.     XML

10.  Group Name

File Type:  ctrl+l

Most of the time we used File type parametrization to pass varies input to the server.

Parameterization proprieties:

1.     Sequential

2.     Random

3.     Unique

4.     Each Iteration

5.     Each Occurrence

6.     Once

7.     Same line as some other parameter

NOTE:

Parameter file extension is .dat

1. Sequential Each Iteration:

Sequential stands for every user has to pick first data point.

Each iteration meansàvalue updating on every iteration.

2. Random Each Iteration:

Random means users will pic the values randomly.

3. Unique Each Iteration:

Unique stands for every user has to pick “First un-used data point”.

4. Sequential each Occurrence:

NOTE: Simulator functionality won’t work for Occurrence property.

Occurrence means every user has to pick next value for every occurrence.

5. Random Each Occurrence:

Randomness is applicable for every occurrence.

6. Unique Each Occurrence:

7. Sequential Once:

Once stands for if the user picks any one of the value the user has to continue with the same value for all the iterations as well as occurrences.

8. Random once:

If the user picks any one of the Random value he has to continue with the same value for all the iterations & occurrences.

9. Unique Once:  IMP 1-1 mapping

Every user has to pick first un-used data pint and he has to continue with the same value for all the iterations & occurrences.

10. Same line as some other parameter:

If there is a dependency between the data points user might take 10^th data point from first data file we have to instruct the user to pick same row number(dependent value / associate value) from second data file (or) second column with the help of same line as some other parameter property.

Unique property Extra Features:

These extra features are available only for unique each iteration and unique occurrence.

Features:

When out of values:

·        Abort the user

·        Continue in cyclic manner
