Malay » Hi Malay you still need to use LoadRunner. When you start Service Test up on a machine that has LR installed you are given an option to create a a “Service Test Enabled for Load Testing”. You can then run the script in the LR controller to create a performance test scenario. But if I’m doing a performance test I personal would rather just use LoadRunner’s built in web service protocol. Thanks Malay

There are tools available for testing both functionality and performance of web services like SOAP SONAR etc.
My question is-can we not use Service test to test the performance of WS and not go for load runner?If yes,do we see some limitations?
I beleive ST is purely for WS testing which is preferred over QTP for functional testing,shouldn’t the performance be also tested thru ST.
