What’s new in LoadRunner Cloud 2021.04

What's New in LoadRunner Cloud 2021.04

LoadRunner Cloud is already a fantastic performance testing solution. It already has cloud-hosted load generators, flexible licensing models, and global accessibility.

As with all Micro Focus products though, LoadRunner Cloud has a strong development backlog. The latest release, LoadRunner Cloud 2021.04, includes some noteworthy additions…

LoadRunner Cloud 2021.04 – Release Highlights

Released in April 2021, LoadRunner Cloud 2021.04 has many new features and enhancements that you might not know about.

We’ve pulled out 3 of the most useful below:

  1. Run Previews
  2. Extended Support for Access Keys
  3. Report Templates

To see what else is included in this release, check out the link and video at the bottom of the page.

1. New Run Preview Window

Have you ever executed a performance test only to realise halfway through, or later, that something wasn’t quite right?

With the new Run Preview window, you can see your run details before you kick it off. The Run Preview window gives you a quick view of:

  1. Load generators vendors and locations
  2. Number of Vusers assigned to each generator
  3. The script assigned to each generator

Run Preview lets you assess whether you’re running the right tests, with the right Vuser, distribution across the right generators.

For more details, see Run Preview in the LoadRunner Cloud Help Center.

2. Extended Support for Access Keys

Do you use LoadRunner within a CI/CD pipeline? This might be a feature you’ve been looking out for…

You can now use access keys to simplify LoadRunner Cloud authentication in Jenkins, Bamboo, Azure DevOps, and CLIs. 

If you want to learn more about how LoadRunner integrates into your DevOps landscape, check out the CI Tools page in the LoadRunner Cloud Help Center.

3. Selectable report templates

LoadRunner Cloud emails a report at the end of every test run. You can now choose the template for that report.

Within these templates, you can choose the fields you want to see in your report. For example, the ‘Summary Only’ report template below shows all ticked fields.

For more information, visit the Templatespage in the LoadRunner Cloud Help Center.

What can testers learn from SpaceX

What Can Testers Learn From SpaceX?

As a test professional, I’ve seen countless projects where defects are treated as disasters rather than learning opportunities. But what if we flipped that mindset? What if software development projects embraced failure as SpaceX does—not as an end, but as the beginning of progress?

video to defect

How to Generate Defect Reports from Videos!

Testers can now convert video recordings into detailed defect reports. This groundbreaking functionality accelerates project timelines with AI-powered speed and accuracy. Not only does this technology provide the holy trinity of speed, quality and cost savings, but it also solves a huge—often unspoken—issue on many projects: the breakdown of dev/test relations at the worst possible time.

Video to Software Tests

A Testing Revolution? How to Turn Videos into Manual and Automated Test Cases

Imagine being able to record a user story and instantly turn it into manual and automated tests—how much time and effort would you save? Whether you’re preparing for SIT, UAT or streamlining regression testing, you can now generate manual and codeless automated test cases directly from video recordings, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to streamline your testing processes.

Test Automation what's new

What’s New: Exciting Test Automation Tool Updates

As great as OpenText is at software development, it’s not always the best at keeping people informed about changes. So, today, I’m sharing a few recent updates to the OpenText automation tools. These are just a tiny sample of recently implemented changes. They focus on cloud capabilities, AI-powered object detection, codeless testing, and streamlined workflows that make test automation more accessible and efficient than ever.

Software Testing in 2030: 4 Ways QA Will Change

Over the next five years, software and software testing are set to evolve at a rate we’ve never seen. In fact, it has already started. Over the last few years, everyone remotely involved in tech has witnessed the constant change in the way things are done. This seemingly non-stop innovation has been driven by emerging technologies, shifting development paradigms, and businesses reevaluating their priorities… and is set to accelerate.

Software Testers v Rogue AI

Software Testers: Humanity’s Best Chance Against Rogue AI

In the race to protect us against rogue AI, our best defence might not be scientists or politicians, but the often-overlooked heroes of the tech world: software testers. As AI systems increasingly mediate healthcare, criminal justice, and military decisions, this unlikely profession could hold the key to preventing existential catastrophe.

Remote Testing Teams: 4 Strategies to Avoid Collaboration Disaster

It’s been years since the pandemic. Still, many companies I speak to have struggled to adapt to changing practices and have failed to implement effective working habits. Unfortunately, you can’t just continue as if nothing has changed—this approach just won’t cut it anymore. In this week’s insight, I provide four actionable approaches that I have picked up from the many successful testing projects I talk to. These easy fixes will help you prevent collaboration disasters in your remote testing teams.
