Continuous TestingContinuous integration with Dev/Ops


Performance management across the application lifecycleContinuous Testing

3 Keys to better performance: • Test early• Test often• Leverage data

from monitoring as baseline for test


Build Load Test scripts during Dev• Integration with MS Visual Studio and

EclipseRun Unit Tests in Load Test Scenarios• Support for nUnit and Selenium tests as

part of LoadRunner scenarios• Load Scenarios as part of Unit TestingAdd Performance Tests as build steps in Jenkins• For automated test scheduling and

execution• Report pass/failure by defined SLA• Other Frameworks in plan

Helping Dev/Test load test in Continuous Integration (CI): HP LoadRunner provides developers with tools and APIs to infuse performance testing earlier • Leverage developer assets, adding

APIs to Unit tests in Visual Studio or Eclipse

• Execute Unit tests using the LoadRunner engine and view test analysis from Jenkins

• REST API to support Continuous Delivery processes

Integration with Dev toolsContinuous Testing

Value: Accelerate application delivery by integrating performance testing in Agile and hybrid environments


Integration with Dev tools – Unit testContinuous Testing / Redefine Performance
