Creating or Editing LoadRunner Tests

To execute LoadRunner tests, the LoadRunner software must be installed on the same computer on which Silk Central execution servers are installed.

To create or edit a LoadRunner test:

  1. In the menu, click Tests > Details View .
  2. Select a container or folder node in the Tests tree where you want to insert a new test, or select the test that you want to edit.
  3. Click New Child Test (New Child Test) on the toolbar, or click (Edit).

    The New Test/Edit Test dialog box appears.

  4. Type a name and description for the test.
    Note: Silk Central supports HTML formatting and cutting and pasting of HTML content for Description fields.
  5. If you are creating a new test, select LoadRunner Test from the Type list box. Click Next.

    The LoadRunner Test Properties dialog box appears.

  6. In the Scenario field, select the source control location of the LoadRunner scenario to be executed.
    Note: The configured test script of the scenario must be within the source control as well.
  7. Optional: Check the Invoke Analysis option to launch the AnalysisUI executable after the scenario run has finished. The AnalysisUI executable will analyze results and generate reports as configured within the AnalysisUI on the execution server.
  8. Optional: Use the Inherit from parent check boxes to inherit the settings from the parent LoadRunner test.
  9. Click Finish.
The original LoadRunner result files are available in the Files tab of the test run results.
