Does your organization have to deliver 99.9 percent uptime and availability in the face of both unpredictable user loads and a never-ending stream of product patches and upgrades?

Does your IT organization adequately stress test applications for system, user, and network scalability before deployment to ensure no performance surprises?

Mercury LoadRunner™ is the industry-standard performance and load testing product for predicting system behavior. and performance. Using limited hardware resources, LoadRunner emulates hundreds or thousands of concurrent users to put the application through the rigors of real-life user loads.
