Mentoring
LoadRunner is a powerful testing tool. And the more you understand it, the more you can get out of it. But knowledge transfer is often un-structured and when combined with ad-hoc training can be an expensive way to get the experience and skills needed to test effectively.
If you’re serious about creating an in-house load test team, you need to invest the right resources to get the right results. Our structured, modular 3 month mentoring programme guides you through every aspect of LoadRunner and performance testing. Focusing on the four key areas of personnel, process, environment and tools, our specialists help you to develop the skills that underpin successful load testing: planning, scripting, execution, analysis and reporting.
