New in version 2024.3
Here's an overview of the key features in NeoLoad 2024.3.
Remote Terminal Emulator
We’re excited to offer you full support for Remote Terminal Emulator testing in NeoLoad. You can now run performance tests on terminal-based applications using protocols, such as VT420 and TN3270.
Wait conditions and timeouts
Take control of your RTE tests with precise wait conditions that sync actions with terminal responses. Set timeouts to prevent your tests from getting stuck and make sure there's a smooth run throughout.
Action keys and Additional action keys
We’ve added flexible support for Action keys to manage user interactions seamlessly. By default, NeoLoad adds multiple keystrokes into a single SendKeys action, but you can customize this behavior using Additional action keys. For example, you can specify keys, such as <TAB> or <DOWN> to split keystroke sequences into separate actions.
Variable extraction
Use our variable extraction tools, including Regular expression extractor, Cursor position extractor, and Text by position extractors. Capture terminal data dynamically and make your tests more adaptable to different scenarios.
Terminal emulator
Experience our upgraded Terminal emulator, designed to capture and replay every detail, including keystrokes, screen transitions, and command responses. Access features like a virtual keypad for keys that aren’t available on a standard keyboard, and monitor the connection status through visual indicators.
Client certificate authentication for RealBrowser
NeoLoad now supports Client certificate authentication for secure testing in RealBrowser. Use the Certificate Manager to import PKCS#12/PFX certificates and configure authentication options for both recording and playback.
