Welcome

Welcome to LoadRunner Developer, Micro Focus' cutting-edge tool for web protocol performance and load testing. Powered by the DevWeb engine, LoadRunner Developer enables you to create and execute DevWeb protocol scripts, with the focus on communication at the HTTP transport level and over WebSocket. A variety of IDEs and tools can be used to create the scripts, which are coded using a new, innovative JavaScript SDK.

LoadRunner Developer is lightweight, scalable, cross-platform, and free to download and use.

You can also create and edit DevWeb scripts using the DevWeb protocol in VuGen. All DevWeb scripts can be executed with any of the LoadRunner family products: LoadRunner Professional (LRP), LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE), and LoadRunner Cloud (LRC).
