Recording Summary Correlations TC Coded

Web ProtocolCorrelation improvements

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
