Hi all,

I am just starting using the loadrunner .. What I want to know is "What is the best configuration for loadrunner"

In terms of where to install the different component of loadrunner. what I could understand from reading the installation guide is that
1-A group of VUGen will be installed in a set of workstations that running the client application.
2-Controller and Analysis will be installed in a different machine.
3-Load Generator will be installed in the server.

Please help me figure out the best configuration for web testing application.
