How to do Parameterization in LoadRunner? | A Step by Step Guide For Beginners: If you are a beginner then you must know what is parameterization? Parameterization is a method to replace the hardcoded value like application URL, User Name, Password, etc. with a parameter that has different input values. Example: You recorded a login page of an application by providing the credentials USER1 and PASS1. When you replay the script, the same credentials are passed. Now, if you want to run a test with 5 different users (USER2, USER3, USER4, USER5, and USER6) then you need to replace the hardcoded value i.e. USER1 with a parameter (say p_userID). This parameter will have a list of all the given values and pass them at the time of the test execution. Hence a parameter is used to pass different input values in the script.
