Question: Hi
I am new to load testing .Currently i am using Load runner 8.2.
i have recorded a script for login screen with some UID/PWD.In load runner Controller i have selected 100 Vusers,and i the run script.
My question is :
1.)Is the same script runs 100 times for same UID/PWD what i have entered during Recording.
2.)If my data base contains only 50 users.Selecting 100 Vusers is a valid case?.
3.)If i have selected 100 Vusers,is it necessary to enter 100 UID/PWD.
Regards,
vivek

You are just practising LR as I see here.
To test the load on the system you must have a requirement first.
You have selected 100 VUsers. But you haven't mentioned how long you want to run and record the system performance. Basically if you just want to stress the system, you don't need any parametrization, just run the script and increase the VUsers as you like.
However, if you are testing specific business scenarios and wants to get the performance readings, you need to use values from a parameter file. If you give 100 user IDs and start LR with 100 VUsers, LR will divide 100 values for 100 users and each user will get only 1 value. If your run setting says "Stop Vuser after the available values are finished", then your scenario will just run for a split of a second only.
So, please read the parametrization and related topics, before venturing anything further.
