RELEASE INFO  :

LoadRunner is a load testing tool that predicts system behavior
and performance. It exercises an entire enterprise infrastructure by
emulating thousands of users to identify and isolate problems.
LoadRunner's integrated real-time monitors enable organizations to
minimize test cycles, optimize performance and accelerate deployment.

The need for comprehensive load and performance testing in the
enterprise is mission-critical. IT depends on automated load testing
to ensure the quality, performance and security of their enterprise
business systems.

E-business applications: As e-business applications are becoming an
integral part of IT systems, companies are often faced with a high
risk due to the combination of multi-tier architectures, secure
environments, multiple protocols and components, unpredictable user
loads and the uncertainty of Internet bandwidth. Poor application
performance can result in lost opportunities, revenue losses or even
business failure. LoadRunner helps ensure flawless performance of
these mission-critical systems upon deployment and throughout the
lifecycle.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications: ERP applications
are complex client/server applications that give corporations the
enabling technology to replace separate, disconnected information
systems with an integrated system for planning, monitoring and
controlling their businesses. Although the application itself is
packaged, customization of business processes and components
introduces risk into the implementation process. Insufficient network
bandwidth, architectural inoperability, databases that do not scale
properly as the number of users increases and new hardware or system
upgrades may seriously affect the application's performance.
LoadRunner stresses the system with production-levels of real business
processes to reflect accurate usage patterns and detect breaking
points before new configurations are made.

Custom Client/Server: IT departments continue to implement custom
client/server systems. With LoadRunner, system architects can make
informed decisions about their system-from architecture design, to
integration and performance testing, through fine-tuning to product
tests. The complexity of client/server systems requires additional
monitoring capabilities to provide more information about the system
under load. Host monitors, network delay information and response time
breakdowns help pinpoint and isolate system performance bottlenecks.

Legacy Applications: IT departments continue to upgrade, develop
and deploy legacy applications because of their time-proven reputation
for scalability and performance. Year 2000 and Euro conversion
processes often introduce performance problems to previously effective
legacy systems. In addition to testing application functionality after
conversion, LoadRunner helps year 2000 project teams test for
performance problems associated with date corrections such as extra
processing time, heavy data storage or increased memory requirements.

Corporate enterprises are evolving into sophisticated information
systems that support thousands of users, multiple application
environments and a complicated mix of different vendor components. As
IT groups integrate e-business, enterprise resource planning (ERP),
custom client/server and legacy applications into their enterprise
systems, they need to be sure that these applications will perform as
expected at deployment and remain reliable throughout the lifecycle.
The adoption of the new Internet business model has stressed the
importance of application testing like never before. As an increasing
number of companies are relying on e-business applications as the
backbone of their operations and a significant source of revenues,
testing application quality, reliability and scalability is becoming
more than just a good idea-it's an absolute necessity.
Unpredictable user loads, enormous application complexity and a host
of new and unproven Internet technologies mandate the need for
automated load testing before, during and after application
deployment. Failure to deliver 100% availability, flawless performance
and a positive experience for all users at all times ultimately
translates into lost customers, lost business and lost revenues.
Mercury Interactive's LoadRunner addresses the issues of testing
complex, integrated enterprise infrastructures by providing a scalable
and easy-to-use load testing solution. It stresses the entire
enterprise system to identify and isolate problems, predict system
behavior and optimize performance. LoadRunner emulates thousands of
virtual users that drive the application as real users would,
monitoring the behavior and response times of different application
components. With its real-time monitors, LoadRunner allows users to
view the application's performance at any time, even before the load
test is completed.
Through its open architecture, support for the widest range of
application environments and seamless integration with other Mercury
Interactive tools, LoadRunner provides a comprehensive, realistic and
reliable load testing solution. Users can stress their system with
different configurations, create realistic load scenarios based on
real business processes, bombard their applications with requests from
different IP addresses, browser types and dial-up connections, monitor
and analyze test results in real time-all with minimal hardware and
personnel resources.
With LoadRunner's intuitive user interface and comprehensive analysis
monitors, users with no programming experience can test complex
enterprise applications to determine if an application is ready for
deployment.
Generating Virtual Users
The main purpose of load testing is to observe system behavior under
typical user loads. To create these loads you will need virtual
users-agents that drive real client applications, imitating the
business processes performed by real users. Virtual users
significantly minimize hardware and personnel resources required for
load testing, as you can run hundreds or even thousands of them on
just a few NT or UNIX machines, instead of using actual computers on
every desktop.

NOTES :

The uFo Release on 121299 was a 39meg service pack for Loadrunner v6.0
which was packed with 0 compression (feel free to nuke it).
It was not the full release, which is what this is.

GROUP INFO    :

Segment was formed in July of 1999, but due to some busy work
