Switching from Load Runner to JMeter?

Now you can convert your Load Runner scripts to JMeter in minutes

We often see, due to price or any other factor, customers change their mind and ask testing team to convert their scripts from Load Runner to JMeter.

SO, the testing team needs to script all the scenarios from scratch. 

But fortunately, we do have a trick to convert your existing LR scripts to Apache Jmeter scripts.

By doing so, you will be able to convert your LR scripts to JMeter. But, you need to remember that the correlations and parameterizations performed in the existing scripts cannot be converted to JMeter. But you can at least save time for recording by following this approach.

Follow the below steps to convert your LR scripts to JMeter

Preparing JMeter: Add a normal web test plan elements to test plan and a test script recorder to workbench.

You can use default port or you can change it if you want.

Before clicking on start button, Get LR settings done

Preparing Load Runner: Go to Run time settings> Proxy> Use custom Proxy> 

Enter proxy as IP/hostname of the machine where JMeter is running. If both LR and JMeter are running on same machine, Give localhost.

Use port same as the one you use in JMeter test script recorder.

Once settings done, Start reply in LR and click on start button in the JMeter 

(Note: Both the machines should communicate with each other in order to convert the scripts)

That's it :)
