Integrate with LoadRunner from HP Service Virtualization, and use simulated services, to facilitate load testing business processes that contain services that are not readily available or too costly. As part of your performance test, you may want to test applications that depend on other services which are a part of your business scenario. Instead of loading actual services, you can use simulated services in your test run. The virtualized services are a simulation of actual services. To facilitate performance testing business processes that contain services that are not available, LoadRunner integrates with HP Service Virtualization. Using simulated services in your test is helpful if using actual services involves an additional cost or requires the service of an application that is under development or inaccessible at the time when you run your performance test.
Web protocol includes a built-in DFE to support decoding and encoding of GWT information exchanged as part of GWT remote procedure calls. This facilitates easy correlation and parameterization of GWT based Web applications. The DFE feature is designed to help ease scripting of applications that exchange formatted data. By turning the formatted data into a more readable format the script can be easily correlated and parameterized. GWT DFE is the latest addition to the already supported formats of Base64, JSON, URLEncoding, XML, and Prefix-Postfix.
A new response correlation capability has been added so correlation is easier and faster. Correlations can now be found based on server responses during recording, in many cases eliminating the need to replay iteratively to find dynamic values. Coupling this with the new Correlation Studio interface and new APIs for locating dynamic values based on XPath and Regular Expressions, makes scripting easier and faster.
