Bugs in LoadRunner

Bugs in LoadRunner

Watch for my logic please:

  • Each program contains errors (bugs).
  • LoadRunner is a program too.
  • So, LoadRunner should contain bugs.
    Even more! LoadRunner contains bugs.

Here is a list of bugs in LoadRunner 9.10 that I noticed.
And I would like to ask you to share your experience on LoadRunner too. I’m sure that you faced with such errors.


Why do I do that?

  • I know, that some members of LoadRunner development team read this blog. So dear readers, you can report errors and make your favourite (I hope :)) LoadRunner better.
  • Also, there is another reason to post LoadRunner bugs. Since you are QA specialists, I think it will be interesting to find bugs in a released commercial product (= LoadRunner).
    Prove, that you are qualified bugs hunters! 🙂
