DevWeb Protocol

The DevWeb protocol focuses on communications on the HTTP transport level, and over WebSocket, providing a lightweight, scalable, and cross-platform (Windows, Linux and MacOS) solution for web protocol testing.

Note:  

  • DevWeb (formally TruWeb) is available as a VuGen protocol, according to the terms of your license agreement.

  • LoadRunner Developer, powered by the DevWeb engine, is available as a standalone installation, with a limit of 50 free Vusers. In earlier versions, LoadRunner Developer was generally referred to as DevWeb or (TruWeb) Standalone.

About DevWeb

DevWeb scripts can be created in VuGen, or using the LoadRunner Developer standalone application. Recording is supported for the latest web technologies for HTTP, HTTPS, and HTTP/2, as well as for the WebSocket protocol.

The generated scripts can be run with LoadRunner Controller, LoadRunner Enterprise, and LoadRunner Cloud.

Alternatively, in LoadRunner Developer, you can run your scripts using the command line or an IDE configuration. You can download LoadRunner Developer from the ADM Marketplace. For more information, see the LoadRunner Developer and DevWeb Help Center.
