Record SummaryOther Enhancements
Correlations: Rules
o Static update of the rules databaseo Adding new rules, updating existing, removing obsolete
o Get info from customers, support, QA
o Emphasis on common frameworks and packaged apps(SAP, Oracle, etc.)
o 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
o Social network sharing for correlation ruleso Once new rule is created, it will be uploaded to the shared DB for other users immediate usage
o v12.55o post v12.55
Correlations improvementsAttribute 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!
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
User select which correlation type to use

JMETER integration
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%)
How does it look like?
IoT – Internet Of ThingsMQTT Protocol SupportCoAP Support
Internet Of Things - IoT
”20 billion IoT devices will be in use in 2027…”
Gartner, Newsroom, Egham, U.K., February 7, 2017
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
MQTT Script
MQTT “publisher” script example
MQTT “subscriber” script example
MQTT monitors in Controller
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
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
