• You can now configure the SAP client to remain open after encountering an error during script execution in VuGen.

• If the SAP GUI client crashes during script replay, you can configure it to relaunch automatically, to enable the continued replay of any remaining iterations in the script.

Added a new capability to the Runtime Settings user interface for DevWeb scripts. You can now define periodic pacing, so that new iterations start at a fixed or a random time interval.

The following updates are included for Gatling and JMeter scripts:

• LoadRunner Cloud now supports Gatling version 3.9.2.

• Installation of Gatling and JMeter is now optional for on-premises load generators installed on Windows, and for Dockerized load generators on Linux. You can choose whether to install Gatling and/or JMeter during a wizard installation, silent installation, or Dockerized load generator setup (Linux only). For details, see Install and configure a load generator.

This release includes improved functionality for parsing HTML responses, reducing the noise and complexity in your scripts:

• HTML resources can be excluded from the web request step during script generation.

• For replay, you can enable downloading of the resources discovered at runtime from the HTML body, without including the resources in the script.

This release includes enhanced DevWeb script creation with Visual Studio Code:

• You can now download a VS Code extension for DevWeb scripts, and install it directly from VS Code. You can then create a DevWeb script in VS Code, with all editing functionality available.

Note: The new VS Code extension features are provided as tech preview.
