Hi All, Most of the web Application today are Internet Rich application having a embedded Flash Animation files, J Query Animation, Action Script, Heavy JavaScript, Java Applets. A Browser may take 3, 4 seconds or even more to fully display all these components in browser which include loading Applet, Processing JavaScript, loading Flash file and animation file etc. What is the best way to capture RENDERING Time (Page Loading Time) using Load Runner in such scenario.
 
You need a tool like fiddler, httpwatch to measure Client rendering time.. Load runner does not measure rendering time
 
In LoadRunner you can simply use TruClient protocols. TruClient runs in a browser and measures all the client side metrics including rendering time.
 
But true client does nt support Applets , Flash contents. Browser blocks the plugs, as we need to enable them. Which can not be handled
 
Page rendering time from LoadRunner? Maybe you are or on wrong track...Page load time is conceptually different in Performance Testing than Page Rendering time. To get page load time, apply text checkpoint logically and the response time would be your page load time. Alternatively, apply transaction blocks on each type of varying requests and use in concurrent group (this is not a best practice though).
