LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3 – Release Highlights

LoadRunner Enterprise 243

Today we look at OpenText LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3, which introduced several enhancements to their enterprise-grade performance testing solution.

We’ve been through the release notes and selected the highlights of LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3, including:

  1. Enhanced Integrations and Infrastructure
  2. New Interactive Run Dashboard
  3. TruClient 2.0 – Web Protocol

If you’re unfamiliar with LoadRunner Enterprise, it is the leading enterprise-level performance tool, offering cloud-based SaaS and on-premises performance testing.

LoadRunner Enterprise is ideal for large-scale, multi-project environments that require simultaneous performance testing in any geographical location.

It can be considered the big brother to LoadRunner Professional, with enhanced capabilities that support the planning and execution of tests across multiple projects and locations, plus global license and load generator sharing.

LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3 – Release Highlights

LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3 includes several new features; you can find full release notes here.

However, to make your life easier, we’ve been through the docs and picked the most important release highlights that you need to know about:

1. Enhanced Integrations and Infrastructure

LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3 enhances its integration capabilities and infrastructure support. Here is a quick round-up of a number of changes that significantly enhance LoadRunner Enterprise:

  • GitLab Integration: New integration enables designing and running LoadRunner Enterprise tests as part of a GitLab continuous integration process.
  • GitHub Action: Added GitHub action for running LoadRunner Enterprise tests in GitHub continuous integration workflows.
  • IPv6 Support: Expanded IPv6 communication support for cloud hosts, monitors, external Influx analysis servers, and database server configuration.
  • AppDynamics SaaS Monitor: Enhanced authentication options, including access token support for AppDynamics SaaS server monitoring.

These features allow for more comprehensive testing and integration across complex, distributed environments.

View full details in the LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3 release notes.

2. Interactive Run Dashboard

The new interactive run dashboard in LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3 provides a modernised and engaging way to monitor performance tests in real time. This dashboard offers enhanced visualisation capabilities, allowing users to gain immediate insights into their testing processes.

  • Real-Time Insights: Provides a more interactive and intuitive interface for monitoring performance tests in real time.
  • Customisable Display: Users can add, merge, rearrange, and configure graphs according to their needs.
  • Advanced Graphing: Utilises the Apache ECharts library and the latest Angular framework for enhanced visualisation.
  • Time Granularity Control: Allows users to set time granularity to the last 3, 10, or 60, the whole run duration, or manual focus.
  • Anomaly Detection: Features an anomaly indicator for quick identification of performance issues.

To enable this feature, users need to submit a request through an email to: OTEPETechPreview@opentext.com.

3. TruClient 2.0 – Web Protocol

TruClient provides a simplified way of recording and developing scripts for web performance tests. Most performance tools work on a protocol level and are more concerned with things that happen on the backend servers, like server response times.

TruClient works on a GUI level, which is more like a traditional automation test. It records the actions you perform in a browser and creates a script in real time, presented in a graphical, user-friendly interface.

TruClient 2.0 represents a significant upgrade to the original TruClient Web Protocol, offering a more intuitive approach to web performance testing:

  • Browser Support: Use locally installed Chrome and Edge browsers for script recording and replay, up to the latest versions.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Test runs are now supported on Linux Ubuntu load generators.
  • Modernised Interface: Improved and modernised user interface for developing scripts.
  • Migration From TruClient: A new conversion tool converts existing TruClient web scripts to TruClient 2.0 web format.

TruClient 2.0 is currently available as a tech preview in LoadRunner Enterprise 24.3, allowing users early access and the opportunity to provide feedback to OpenText.

Do Stakeholders Understand

Do Stakeholders Actually Understand the Purpose of Testing?

14 October, 2026

Most stakeholders don’t need to understand the finer points of software testing. They’ve got their own jobs to get on with. A finance director doesn’t need to know how to prepare test data, any more than a tester needs to understand how the finance director prepares the annual accounts. For the most part, this works well. Stakeholders get useful results, visibility of progress and enough information to make decisions. They don’t need a running commentary on everything that happens in a test environment. However, people can expect different things from those results.

Can Software Testers Save Mankind from AI?

7 October, 2026

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.

How to Test Real World Software Performance

30 September, 2026

When it comes to performance testing, whether you’re a seasoned expert or a complete novice, having the right tools at your disposal can make all the difference. Enter TruClient, a powerful solution designed to streamline the testing process for web and mobile applications. But what exactly makes TruClient such a valuable tool?

In essence, TruClient protocols allow you to test web and mobile applications quickly, easily and efficiently.

Most performance test scripting tools operate at a protocol level; however, TruClient records your actions in real-time, enabling faster scripting.

Evergreen Software Testing

How to Test Evergreen IT: A Very Short Guide

23 September, 2026

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. This has knock-on effects for test teams. Evergreen IT reduces the need for large, occasional system

Testing has changed

Your Software Keeps Changing. Can Your Testing Keep Up?

17 September, 2026

Cloud applications, SaaS platforms, browsers, APIs and security services now update on schedules set largely by their suppliers.

Customers may be able to select a maintenance window or postpone an update briefly, but they usually cannot remain on the same version indefinitely.

The software industry often calls this evergreen software: solutions kept current through frequent, supplier-led updates instead of occasional, customer-controlled upgrades.

Test Automation in 2026: Less Scripting, Easier Maintenance

16 September, 2026

Automation can and should help you release sooner and with more confidence. But it doesn’t always work out that way. It often creates its own delays, with scripts that only a few specialists can maintain, brittle checks that fail after routine interface changes and results that are, rightly, treated with scepticism.

The problem is, many people are still automating poorly, with dated approaches, fragmented automation solutions, and poor tool choices. Thankfully, in 2026, there’s a much easier way to automate functional testing.

5 Ways to Know if Your Project is Really on Track

9 September, 2026

Is your software project on track? Do you really know? Are there hidden issues lurking in the background that will catch you out? Too often, the answers are buried in silos across different tools. By the time someone pulls everything together, some of the information is already out of date.

ALM Octane gives you instant access to up-to-date delivery information. It shows you the current state of quality, what is on track, what is holding delivery up and whether you have enough evidence to release with confidence.

Software Testing Risk

Is Remote Software Testing Creating New Risks You Haven’t Even Considered?

19 August, 2026

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.
