My application is a using a user creation flow which involves a text challenge (captcha) validation. Is someone aware how to handle such a situation? Can loadrunner use some OCR technique and solve this? any other workaround to load test captcha challenge?
A CAPTCHA (a backronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human.
to bypass CAPTCHA with the load runner or with any other tool , you will have to get one following things from dev/app experts
To disable CAPTCHA validation :: Remove the need for it, you can do it easily in any popular CMS, CRM solutions.
To make the CAPTCHA as static :: Make sure it sends only same value everytime.
To send the CAPTCHA value in server response(So that you can correlate)
Provide the CAPTCHA details which are comes in the data base sequentially :: Basically get it from database and make sure it happens sequentially.
