What's new

Aviator for Scripting in VuGen provides assistance with many aspects of the scripting process. Using AI assistance before, during, and after the scripting process can help to save time and simplify script creation.

Aviator can assist with tasks such as selecting the best protocol for an application scripting session, error analysis and remediation, function and coding assistance, script optimization, and script summarizing. When combined, these assisted actions can yield significant time savings, while also reducing required scripting skill sets.

All users, from new to experienced performance engineers, will welcome Aviator's partnership in the scripting process.

For details, see Aviator for Scripting in the VuGen Help Center.

Aviator for Analysis in OpenText Core Performance Engineering Analysis redefines how teams approach performance analysis. It helps accelerate investigations, increase productivity, and streamlines the onboarding of new team members.
