Release notes for HCL OneTest™ Performance

HCL OneTest™ Performance is a scripting-free environment for automating load and scalability testing of web, ERP, and server-based software applications. HCL OneTest™ Performance provides rich and customizable reporting to help you identify the presence and cause of system bottlenecks. It captures the network traffic that is rendered when the application under test interacts with a server. This network traffic is then emulated on multiple virtual users while you play back the test. See HCL OneTest Performance overview.

• Support to control test runs for error handling

  A new error condition Test Verdict Failed is added to Error handling to manage the test when the overall verdict of the test is failed. The error condition can control the behavior of the test and can contribute to the health of the test. See Error conditions.

• Support to delete any row or all rows in datasets

  You can now use new two methods to delete rows in a dataset. When you use IDatasetController in a custom code, you can use the following two methods to delete rows:

  IDatasetController.deleteRows(fromIndex, toIndex) - You can use this method to specify a range of rows to delete. The index starts at 1.

  IDatasetController.deleteAllRows() - You can use this method to delete all the rows in the dataset.

  See Deleting rows in a dataset.

• Customizing names of exported statistical reports

  You can now specify a pattern that defines the file names of the exported statistical reports when you run tests from the command line. See Command-line parameters.

• Support for Revenera 2022.12

  With Revenera 2018.02 (LLS 1.0) reaching EOS, you can now use Revenera 2022.12 (LLS 3.0) as a local license server to host licenses for HCL OneTest™ Performance.
