Hi Everyone. What are the advantages of running loadrunner script as Process and where do we use it.

 

[Igor Markov]

Sounds like an exam question...

 

[Kumari Raj]

Hi Igor Markov, I have started learning Loadrunner. In almost all the sites related to loadrunner, they recommended to execute the script as a thread because Running Vuser as a thread is more memory efficient than running Vuser as a process. I agree with that and follow that. I would like to know when do we use as a process. Hope you could put some useful information to clarify me.

When you are using a non thread safe protocol or on a non thread safe operating system

 

[Igor Markov]

...or when you are using in your script a non thread safe library. Normally you would just use the LR default setting. Some protocols can only run Vusers as process (and you cannot change it)

Thanks Igor Markov

It sounds like no one is sure about the difference between thread and process.

If you run vuser as a process it takes 5 mb memory in LG(client server app)

Running a vusciprt as a process gives d output wid d data used and functionality performed I.e. for login the output is "user login credentials and login successful message"and if it is run as thread then detailed output is obtained hence wherein we need detailed execution output for each vuser we can run it as thread else if we need jst to verify if all functionalities are covered we run it as process
