Protocol Tests

Protocol tests involve the mechanisms used in an application, rather than the applications themselves. For example, a protocol test of a web server may will involve a number of HTTP interactions that would typically occur if a web browser were to interact with a web server - but the test would not be done using a web browser. LoadRunner is usually used to drive load into a system using VUGen at a protocol level, so that a small number of computers (Load Generators) can be used to simulate many thousands of users.
