LoadRunner 12.0 Released.............





March 17, 2014: HP released its most anticipated, revamped, and packed with awesome features for performance testing, HP LoadRunner 12.

Key observations / new features are:


Cloud-based load generators.

 HP describes this feature as "cloud bursting". Users now have the ability to provision load generators on AWS (Amazon Web Service) cloud servers from within LoadRunner or Performance Center.
 Licensing - 50 vUsers free:
 Providing fully-functional applications that allow small-scale testing allow prolonged evaluations and proof-of-concept exercises.

VUGEN improvements:

There are a variety of improvements as you would expect. Key ones are:

The ability to review replay statistics for tests after each run.
Including details on total connections, disconnections and bytes downloaded.
The ability to edit common file types in the editor.
Support for recording in the Internet Explorer 11, Chrome v30 and Firefox v23 browsers.
The ability to create scripts from Wireshark or Fiddler files.
The ability to record HTML5 or SPDY protocols.

TruClient improvements:

TruClient script converter. This basically replays your TruClient scripts and records the HTTP/HTML traffic allowing you to create these script typers from TruClient recordings. This is similar to recording GUI scripts and then converting to other script types.

The addition of support for Rendezvous points, IP spoofing, VTS2 and Shunra network virtualisation in TruClient scripts.

Linux Load Generator improvements:

Building on the increased support for Linux Load Generators in 11.5x, LDAP, DNS, FTP, IMAP, ODBC, POP3, SMTP and Windows Sockets scripts can now be replayed through UNIX load generators.

CI/CD support:

Better integration with Jenkins etc.

Platform support:

Support for installation on Windows Server 2012:
(LoadRunner 11.x and PC 11.x only supported up to W2K8 which was a barrier to enterprise adoption).
LoadRunner components can now run in a "non-admin" user account with UAC and DEP enabled.
