LoadRunner Cloud gives teams a SaaS platform for creating and running performance tests without having to build and maintain all the supporting load-generation infrastructure themselves.
Officially named OpenText Core Performance Engineering, LoadRunner Cloud can simulate anything from a small number of users to millions, across different locations, applications and technologies.
Increasingly, organisations expect remote and hybrid testers to use borrowed tool licences, unstable VPNs, and software never designed to leave the office. That creates significant compliance and security risks that can turn into serious long‑term problems.
It’s not the testers per se, but remote execution over on‑prem licences is a software audit waiting to happen. Read on to learn why a compliance nightmare isn’t the only reason your test setup might not be fit for distributed and home‑working team members.
Technology investment involves a bargain. A business accepts an upfront hit in cost, effort, time or disruption because it expects a much greater return in the future. New systems are supposed to improve services, streamline processes and make organisations more efficient.
Testing is a funny role sometimes. You can be prepped and ready to go, test plans written, data prepared and everything poised for testing to begin… Then nothing happens.
A critical API hasn’t been delivered. The SAP environment is being used by another team. A third-party system is unavailable. So, you wait. Sometimes for days. Often for weeks.
Who do you want to be? The ex-tester bemoaning the rise of AI and the disappearance of the profession they once knew? Or the expert tester using AI, automation and every available tool to become more capable and valuable than ever?
The testers who should be terrified of AI are probably not the ones people usually talk about. And it’s not about whether you’re a functional, performance, automation, or security tester, or any other discipline. Those categories are basically irrelevant to your survival in the new world.
ALM Octane provides regulated businesses with a single, controlled environment for designing, executing, and evidencing software tests. This helps teams satisfy strict regulatory expectations, whether delivering change via Agile, DevOps, Waterfall or hybrid/Wagile projects.
Evergreen IT sounds simple. Rather than running old systems for years, software is continuously updated. The benefits are obvious: access to new features, no more painful migration projects, better security, and less technical debt.
Agentic testing is one of those phrases that has started appearing everywhere. There’s an underlying assumption that everyone already knows what agentic workflows are, but many don’t. So what does it mean? And more importantly, does it actually matter right now?
The way most people have been using AI for testing is handy for a quick script stub or some test data ideas, but it’s a long way from an industrialised solution. For most teams, “AI testing” still sounds like a future promise rather than a secure, business-ready solution embedded in how their organisation works. It feels like something happening on the fringes, or more realistically, on a tester’s personal chatbot.
