A new capability is introduced which enables you to quickly validate scripts on on-premises load generators, at no cost, before running them in a load test. During the validation process, you can analyze Vuser logs in real time.

For details, see Validate on-premises load generators.

The integrations with Microsoft Teams and Webex have been extended to include a new event at the project level. You can now have a notification sent to your favorite channel when one of your LoadRunner Cloud agents is disconnected.

For details, see Event management.

You can now block manual script upload in specific projects. This configuration option is available using the public API only.

For details, see Public API.

Added the ability to collect transaction data directly from on-premises load generators. This enables you to analyze performance metrics for each load generator.

The early start feature enables you to manually start a test as soon as LoadRunner Cloud reaches the predefined threshold for successfully provisioning Vusers. This saves having to wait for all the planned Vusers to be ready.

For detail, see Run the test.

A new capability has been added to the LoadRunner Cloud public API that enables you to duplicate a test.

For details, see Public API.

When installing and configuring LoadRunner Cloud Windows-based agents, you now need to insert the LoadRunner Cloud server URL into the Misc tab. You can copy it from the browser address bar.

For details, see Misc tab.

The load test Load profile page has been redesigned with improved layout, accessibility, and flow. This includes the following:

• The script scheduler preview is now displayed in a dedicated pane to the right of the script list.

• The scheduler preview pane has a streamlined process for adding a ramp up, duration, and tear down step to Advanced schedules.

• For Manual and Advanced scripts, you now set the number of Vusers and configure the local pacing and duration settings in the scheduler preview pane only, instead of in the script list.

• When the Test settings > Add Vusers option is selected in the Run configurations section, the script toggle switch in the Load profile page is now set to off for Advanced schedule scripts, and you cannot enable the script. You can still edit the script.

• When Advanced scheduling is selected for a script in the Load profile page, the Add Vusers option is unavailable in Test settings. If you subsequently turn off the advanced script and then select Add Vusers in Test settings, the option to turn the script back on is unavailable.

For details, see Configure a schedule for your script.

The load test SLA page includes the following updates:

• The SLA page has been redesigned with a modern look, feel, and layout.

• Added a new SLA type which sets test status to Failed if one or more Vusers fail.

• Transactions are now conveniently grouped by script in the SLA grid.

• You can hide an SLA in the grid if you are not using it.

• You can accept all percentile TRT value suggestions from the toolbar.

• The percentile goal setting where you set the value for SLAs and all transaction measurements was moved to the Test settings > Run configurations page. For details, see Run configurations settings.

For details on all the SLA updates, see Configure SLAs.

The What's new page in the LoadRunner Cloud user interface was removed from the top banner. It is now available from the Help menu.

For details, see LoadRunner Cloud banner.

LoadRunner Cloud supports VuGen and OneLG version 24.1

For details, see Support Matrix.

You can now install a LoadRunner Web Recorder extension in Chrome to record events for a Vuser script. This allows you to create scripts in cases where the security policy blocks the standard VuGen recorder.

Note: This feature is provided as a tech preview.

The following updates are included for TruClient scripts:

• Chromium browser support: For version 120

• TruClient Browser: Now equivalent to Firefox version 118

• Security updates

• An enhanced Runtime Settings user interface is in use for the TruClient - Mobile Web and TruClient - Native Mobile protocols.

The following new APIs to handle window events are available for the Citrix protocol:

• ctrx_execute_on_window_activation

• ctrx_execute_on_window_destroy

• ctrx_execute_on_window_name_change

The following updates are included for SAP scripts:

• This release includes additional correlation rules for SAP_NWBC application.

• An enhanced Runtime Settings user interface is in use for the SAP - Web and SAP GUI protocols.

DevWeb scripts now support testing for server-sent events (SSE).

SSE is a server push technology, enabling the client to receive automatic updates from a server via an HTTP connection. You can use the new SSE API to establish a connection to the AUT, and receive server-sent event notifications.

The replay summary for your script now includes data on the hits per host (based on hostname).

This data is available for DevWeb scripts in all LoadRunner products.
