Record scripts on mobile applications in LoadRunner : As LoadRunner 11 in Patch 3, Mobile App (HTTP/HTML) protocol added which can help us to record scripts of mobile apps. There are three recording options in the recording Wizard: 1.Record and Analyze Traffic - Use mobile sniffer agent to capture traffic and then analyze. This allows Vugen to connect to the mobile agent on the server or localhost and carry out the business process for recording. 2. Analyze Traffic - Analyze traffic using existing capture file to generate script. This allows Vugen to scan a pre-captured network traffic (WinPcap) file and generate the code based on the traffic. 3. Record Emulator - Record script using a mobile device emulator. This allows Vugen to record an emulator installed on the Vugen machine. With this option, you need to verify that you are able to bring up the emulator and navigate to a URL outside of Vugen to make sure the emulator settings are correct. 

Today i will share my learning on performance testing performed on mobile application. We can use Load runner tool for mobile based applications. HP LoadRunner 11.50 has two new protocols for helping to record mobile applications: ·          Mobile Application – HTTP/HTML : recording scripts at the transport level for both browser-based mobile applications and native mobile applications, that communicate with their servers over HTTP ·          Mobile TruClient: recording scripts for browser-based mobile applications through the browser-based user interface.  This protocol is based on Ajax TruClient, using a browser modified to emulate the mobile browser. These protocols are independent of mobile operating systems, so will work on different versions of iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, WebOs (Palm), Blackberry, etc. Let’s see the picture behind the scene: We can run the p...
