Evaluating New Products
You can run tests to evaluate individual products and subsystems during the
planning and design stage of a product's life cycle. For example, you can choose
the hardware for the server machine or the database package based on evaluation
tests.
Identifying Bottlenecks
You can run tests which identify bottlenecks on the system to determine which
element is causing performance degradation, for example, file locking, resource
contention and network overload. Use LoadRunner's in conjunction with the new
network and host monitoring tools to create load and measure performance at
different points in the system. For more information, refer to Part Five of this
