1 What s new in LoadRunner 12.55? Vicky Giavelli PC & LR Product Manager Lior Avni PE COST September 2017

2 Agenda Introduction Web Protocol Enhancements TruClient Enhancements JMeter Integration IoT - MQTT & CoAP Desktop Protocols Controller & Analysis Summary Q&A

3 Questions How-To During the session, please write your questions in the Chat window Or send your questions to The WebEx recording will be uploaded to a public Link and shared with you all, along with the complete Q&A session

4 Performance Center/LoadRunner Wealth of new and enhanced functionality PC Web Based Administration Anomaly Detection Jmeter Support Dockerized Load Generators Dynatrace Integration Recording Summary New Relic Integration PC Web Based Analysis Automatic Trending REST API TruClient Mobile IoT Protocol MQTT TruClient Coded Collate Results VPC Amazon VPC Support Jenkins Plugin

5 The value of v12.55 Benefits and featured solutions Reducing scripting time Reusing developers assets and embracing OSS Acceleration of root cause analysis Getting the most from your testing ecosystem Web protocol improvements/ Coded TruClient Jmeter script utilization Anomaly detection NV Insights, Client Side Breakdown Integrations with 3rd party solutions - Dynatrace, New Relic, JMeter, Dockerized LGs) IoT protocols - MQTT and CoAP Modernization of PC Web Admin, improved admin reports, Dockerized LG Modern protocol support LR/PC User Increased operations efficiency

6 LoadRunner Key Updates HPE Rebranding JMeter Integration Dynatrace Integration HTTP Streaming Support MQTT Protocol ERs Usability & Performance improvements Recording Summary Correlations TC Coded

7 Web Protocol Correlation improvements Record Summary Other Enhancements

8 Correlations: Rules o o o Static update of the rules database o o o Adding new rules, updating existing, removing obsolete Get info from customers, support, QA Emphasis on common frameworks and packaged apps (SAP, Oracle, etc.) Auto DB upgrade o Frequent update of the DB which will be on remote server, and suggest the clients once there is a newer version Social network sharing for correlation rules o Once new rule is created, it will be uploaded to the shared DB for other users immediate usage o v12.55 o post v12.55

9 Correlations improvements Attribute Based Correlations (ABC) New correlation API that allow dynamic value extraction from HTML documents All the correlation API require forward looking text search (boundary search, XPATH, JPATH) and/or well defined text pattern (regular expression) Define the HTML node attributes and the attribute value needed for correlation The attributes order can change, the value will get extracted every time!

10 Correlations improvements Cont. Attribute Based Correlations how does it look like? Generic rule: Ignore correlation values shorter than RecordingOptions.MinimalCorrelationLength Heuristic are used to filter out values Disregards excluded strings Attributes names are case insensitive

11 Correlations improvements Cont. Attribute Based Correlations Design Studio User select which correlation type to use

12 Recording Summary Report Post record the user will get a summary report Information will include: Transport format and versions SSL settings Hosts involved Headers and HTTP response code Content types Recommendation for DFE Transaction breakdown Filter servers\resources\headers Allow the user to change settings that require script regeneration before working on the script

13 Additional Features Web Protocol GWT 2.7 support. Request Factory (GXT) New Wireshark and PCAP versions support PCAP parsing support in Java over HTTP, Flex, WinSock, Oracle HTTP/2 completion 64 bit recording Client side breakdown NV Insights Linux Edge browser recording usability Streaming support completion live, HLS, Lightstreamer Enhanced measurements & graphs Web Services protocol security improvements Ciphers and security updates Enhanced Fiddler import Proxy recording improvements DFEs multiple enhancements Error messages improvements Recording troubleshooting enhancements Non-standard authentication methods support HAR generation as generic feature in VuGen Enhanced measurements in HAR file

14 TruClient Performance Improvements TruClient Coded

15 TruClient Flavors & Integrations

16 Performance Improvements Action Delay Before optimization [ms] After optimization [ms] Improvement rate Drag step from 1 to 11 [Chromium] % Group 10 first steps under if clause [Chromium] % Copy and paste 200 steps [Chromium] Impossible Copy and paste 200 steps [FF] % Loading TC from Vugen [Chromium] % Loading TC Lite extension loading [Chrome] %

17 TruClient Native Mobile - Revolution Before Limited support for hybrid applications Single application testing Configuration Tab/General Settings Limited measurements Limited XPath support Not available for web based mobile apps Not supported Not supported Not supported Hybrid applications Multiple applications Configuration wizard Accurate measurements Object Identification Heuristics Touch gestures Function Libraries AUT API Use JavaScript

18 TruClient Coded [Technical preview] Convert the recorded TruClient script model to JavaScript. Work on all TC flavours: Firefox, IE and Chromium A TruClient script can contain both coded and model Actions Support code completion Object Spy allow you to identify objects from the application and add them to the code

19 TruClient coded

20 JMETER integration

21 JMETER integration Run side-by-side LoadRunner and JMeter tests, on local / remote machines Prerequisites: - Users should be able to run JMeter test on their machine (install JAVA, JMeter) - Users should configure basic environment variables (%JMETER_HOME%)

22 How does it look like?

23 IoT Internet Of Things MQTT Protocol Support CoAP Support

24 Internet Of Things - IoT 20 billion IoT devices will be in use in 2027 Gartner, Newsroom, Egham, U.K., February 7, 2017

25 Creating an MQTT script using VUGEN Simple, lightweight, replay only protocol Designed to generate load on MQTT broker by emulating sensors/devices behavior Supports broker authentication and SSL/TLS connection

26 MQTT Script MQTT subscriber script example MQTT publisher script example

27 MQTT monitors in Controller

28 CoAP support in LoadRunner The CoAP protocol for HPE LoadRunner (powered by EndPoint IoT) allows performance testing against front-end CoAP proxies with the supported methods/verbs to determine scalability and reliability under heavy use. This is typically for use with IoT (Internet of Things) platforms and applications. The add-in is available in the Market place here

29 Desktop Protocols

30 Desktop Protocols PCoIP New embedded client VMware HorizonView support in addition to Teradici Citrix Generating snapshots under Controller Citrix Agent passes its PID to client-side Session type detection Java JOH IP Spoofing JMS in version 8 Debugging capabilities in VuGen JDBC

31 Controller & Analysis

32 NV Insights Reports Client Side Metrics Client side breakdown information on waterfall for TruClient scripts Resource breakdown page Display test execution errors

33 Support Analysis of Bigger Results Improved Analysis performance when opening big results Retry and Fail Safe mechanism for data collation on LG
