 LoadRunner works by creating virtual users who take the place of real users operating client software, such as sending requests using the HTTP protocol to IIS or Apache web servers. Requests from many virtual user clients are generated by Load Generators in order to create a load on various servers under test
These load generator agents are started and stopped by Mercury’s Controller program. The Controller controls load test runs based on Scenarios invoking compiled Scripts and associated Run-time Settings.
