Remote Terminal Emulator

With the Tricentis NeoLoad Remote Terminal Emulator (RTE), you can create, design, and run performance tests on terminal-based applications, such as TN3270, VT420, and TN5250. RTE supports protocols like SSH, Telnet, and TLS for end-to-end testing. The RTE testing framework captures key actions, such as keystrokes and screen transitions, allowing Tricentis NeoLoad to simulate real-world user interactions within terminal environments.

How to use RTE

RTE brings protocol-based performance capabilities to mainframe and legacy systems. During the recording phase, Tricentis NeoLoad captures user actions as they interact with the terminal. In the design phase, you refine these actions with wait conditions and variable extractors to handle dynamic data and improve test accuracy. This dual-phase approach provides accurate performance testing for complex terminal applications.

This section covers everything you need to get started with RTE:

• Record an RTE user path - Capture terminal interactions for TN3270, VT420, and TN5250 sessions.

• Design an RTE user path - Refine recorded actions with wait conditions and variable extractors.

What's next

Start by recording an RTE user path to capture terminal interactions for your application.
