It has been a long time for me to spend time in writing blog post. I have been blessed with a baby girl on Dec 31, 2016; both my wife and baby are doing fine. Big sister Diya is very happy. I was running between hospital and home, so I couldn’t concentrate on performance testing quite some time. Today I got time to sit and key in my thoughts. In this blog, we are going to see about the latest patch release for HPE LoadRunner 12.53 Patch.

Hi Naveen,
Is there a way to test reactjs apps with jmeter.
Yes. You need to use JMeter Webdriver sampler :)
My script (TruCleint Web) was working fine in 12.53. When the application (Mendix) got upgraded, it was not working and we were not able to record a fresh script too (Trucleint Web).
Is there anything i need to cange (settings)?
please let me know.
