What's new in NeoLoad Web

Here you'll find the latest features, enhancements, and bug fixes to improve your experience with NeoLoad Web.

July 2026

Secrets vault connection

NeoLoad Web now lets you connect HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager to store load test credentials in a secure external location. After you add secrets to a user path in NeoLoad, NeoLoad Web retrieves credentials at test launch and sends them to load generators over an encrypted connection.

Edit running virtual users in real time

NeoLoad Web now lets you add or stop virtual users in a population while a test runs, without stopping the test. Use the Running VUs tab in Results to change the load in real time.

DevOps workspace

Administrators can now create a DevOps workspace that runs tests on Virtual User Hours (VUH) only, without consuming Web VUs and concurrent runs. This workspace is best for lightweight performance tests that need to run quickly without blocking resources from other workspaces. For example, tests that you integrate directly into your CI/CD pipeline.

Results analysis enhancements

NeoLoad Web now makes it easier to create, expand, and find your dashboards. Here's what we improved:

Select up to 4 test results in the Results section to quickly create a comparison dashboard.
Open the new Dashboards tab in the test result page to see every dashboard that includes it.
When you drag test result data onto a tile, NeoLoad Web now recognizes the data type and only lets you drop it onto tiles with a matching type.
Filter results by interval, zone, population, or user path when you create a new tile or add results to an existing tile.
Plot scatter duration for your test results. Use it to see how a transaction's duration relates to time and load and to spot outliers that an averaged line hides.

The analysis now includes two new metrics:

Elements count is now available in Dashboards. It shows how many times elements trigger during a test run with its successes and failures.
Standard deviation is now available in Dashboards and Results > Values. Use it to check how much response times of Transactions vary from the average.

May 2026

Guaranteed Virtual Users for workspaces

Administrators can now guarantee Virtual Users (VU) to a workspace. Tests in the workspace always have their dedicated VUs available, and any remaining license capacity stays in the shared pool.

More MCP actions for result analysis and management

The NeoLoad Web MCP server now includes more actions for working with test results. AI agents can fetch Service Level Agreement (SLA) outcomes, full summary statistics, and valid filter values, then write analysis findings back onto the result.

The new actions include:

get-result-contexts returns the populations, user paths, and zones available on a result, so agents can run targeted filtered queries.
get-result-slas returns SLA pass, warn, and fail outcomes for a result, with filters for SLA type, element type, and status.
get-result-statistics returns the full summary statistics for a result in a single call, including live values while a test is running.
update-result writes analysis findings back onto a result by updating its name, description, lock status, or quality status.

APT - Analysis

NeoLoad Web now includes APT - Analysis, the first workflow of our Agent Performance Testing (APT) agent. Open APT from the AI Chat button on any page and select Create performance analysis to generate an AI report for a test result, with a progress tracker that shows the agent's status while it works. APT is consumption-based: each run uses credits in proportion to the amount of information the agent processes. See Manage APT - Analysis access to control which users can run APT - Analysis through the AI Chat column in Settings > Users.

April 2026

Workspace resource management

Administrators can now control how workspaces consume license resources. For example:

Set limits on Virtual Users (VU) and Virtual User Hours (VUH) per workspace to prevent over-consumption and distribute resources fairly across teams.

Key capabilities include:

Set maximum Web VUs for each workspace.
Define VUH consumption limits with real-time tracking of remaining capacity.

Usage history of VUH

NeoLoad Web now tracks VUH consumption in the Usage history page. You can export a CSV report that includes allocated and consumed VUH per workspace.

Offline license leases

NeoLoad Web now supports offline leases for transferring license capacity to NeoLoad or other NeoLoad Web instances. This is useful if NeoLoad can't connect to NeoLoad Web for licensing, or when you need to distribute licenses across multiple NeoLoad Web deployments.

MCP meta tool

The NeoLoad Web MCP server now offers a meta tool endpoint. The standard endpoint loads all 45 tool definitions into your AI assistant's context window. The meta tool exposes only two: mcp_discover and mcp_execute. Your AI assistant discovers actions on demand and runs them through a single interface, so more of the context window stays available for your prompts and responses.

MCP timeseries tool

The NeoLoad Web MCP server now includes a get-result-timeseries tool that returns sampled metrics (user load, errors, response time, throughput) for a test result. AI agents can pull the full history of a completed run or poll a running test for fresh data points.

February 2026

Dedicated IP addresses from Azure

NeoLoad Web now offers dedicated IP addresses from Azure in addition to AWS and GCP. You can reserve them and extend the reservation right in NeoLoad Web.

To use Azure IP addresses in tests, the admins first need to enable the new cloud zones in Settings → Zones.

January 2026

Dynamic infrastructure agent

NeoLoad Web now offers agent-based dynamic infrastructure for Kubernetes. An agent deployed in your environment establishes an outbound-only connection to NeoLoad Web and receives instructions, eliminating the need for inbound network access, firewall changes, or lengthy security approvals. This secure, reverse communication model enables on-demand provisioning of controllers and load generators and gives you access to NeoLoad Web AI features and continuous innovation.
