What’s new in HP LoadRunner 12 and HP Performance Center 12?
Cloud-based Load Generators (LG)
One of the interesting and most-wanted feature is injecting load from the cloud. Earlier, we need to have physical LGs to inject the load to the application under test. But now, it is possible to inject, scale the load from the cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS). You can configure the settings using Network Security Manager. You can add `n` number of cloud accounts, and manage your network profiles to generate huge load.
Mobile Testing
Now you can test any mobile application in this newer version. You can achieve most realistic mobile performance testing by integrating Shunra Network Virtualization. Other features include:
- Define multiple geo locations per LG
- New graphs and charts for network virtualization
Free 50 Virtual users
Now HP is offering 50 Virtual Users for FREE. This will definitely help to perform short-term projects, Proof of Concepts, Tool evaluation, etc. You will get all the protocols except GUI (UFT), COM/DCOM, GUI(UFT) virtual users and template bundle.
