What’s new in Virtual User Generator 2020?

If you are not aware, there are changes in the Micro Focus LoadRunner Family, you can check it out my previous blog post about the changes. This blog post is the continuation of my previous post where we are going to see about the what’s new in Virtual User Generator 2020, shortly we will call it as VuGen.

Visual Changes in the VuGen IDE

First, let us see what are all the changes you could see in the VuGen IDE. There is no total revamp in the user interface, only there are some make ups and the touch ups in the new interface.

Performance wise it is still the same, I do not see any significant improvement in the speed or reliability. It is still hangs and takes time to load the script. It might be due to my under powered laptop and couple years old Intel processors, if you noticed any improvements in the performance, please let me know in the comment section.
