This topic introduces the new features and enhancements included in OpenText Core Performance Engineering Analysis 26.2.

AI-driven Performance Engineering

This release includes enhancements to the AI-powered virtual assistant for OpenText Performance Engineering solutions.

Area Enhancement
Core Performance Engineering Aviator

Core Performance Engineering Aviator is a cloud‑based enterprise service that provides artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for OpenText Performance Engineering products when connected to this paid service. Aviator enhances performance engineering workflows by providing AI‑assisted scripting and automated, AI‑driven analysis.

Aviator includes the following enhancements:

  • AI Usage report, available on the AI Usage page of the Core Performance Engineering Platform, provides aggregated visibility into AI query consumption across supported products. For details, see the OpenText Core Performance Engineering Platform topic in the OpenText Core Performance Engineering Help Center.

  • Chat management, available in Aviator for Analysis only, enables you to view, reopen, and rename conversations, and start new sessions from predefined prompts.

For details on Aviator for Scripting, see the OpenText Virtual User Generator Help Center.

For details on Aviator for Analysis, see Aviator for Analysis.

For details about supported client instances and integration details, see the Aviator section in the OpenText Core Performance Engineering Help Center.

Data and analytics

This release includes the following data and analytics updates.

Area Enhancement
Compare runs

You can now compare two runs from the same test in the dashboard. For details, see Compare runs in the dashboard.

Note:

  • Setting up a test run as a benchmark for quick comparison with the current run is not supported.

  • Comparing runs does not consume two measurements instead of one. For details, see Dashboard limits.

Integrations and ecosystem

This release includes the following integrations and ecosystem updates.

Area Enhancement
Core Performance Engineering Platform

A new Administration section has been added to the menu. In this section, the Core Performance Engineering Platform enables users to generate and manage their own secure access keys for connecting on-premises agents, authenticating public APIs, and integrating CI plugins and MCP services.

For details, see the Platform section in the OpenText Core Performance Engineering Help Center.
Professional / Enterprise Performance Engineering

Access keys generated before version 26.2 must be replaced with keys generated in 26.2 due to an improved security scope. Generate the key in Core Performance Engineering Platform by selecting the Core Performance Engineering Analysis service. This requirement applies regardless of the Opentext Professional/Enterprise Performance Engineering version in use.

For details, see Stream performance test results.
