In LoadRunner 12.50 JavaScript has been added as an additional scripting language for the Web - HTTP/HTML protocol, empowering scripting capabilities. Read more in this R&D blog post and try it yourself!

Very nice move!! Is that simultaneous in the same script or is it a more integrated JavaScript protocol as before???

It's a Recording Option for Web/HTTP that allows you to generate the entire script in JavaScript instead of C.

I am not able to find the JAVA option in the drop down list , do i need to install some additional add-in for this?

Biswajit Sahu, can you post a screenshot?

JavaScript, not Java

 

[Shane Evans]

There is a Java protocol, also. But this isn't that

JavaScript.....another language for failed C programmers.

There are other reasons we re-built JavaScript support, James. Stay tuned!

The note was a little in jest. It has been a long time since Mercury discussed why C was initially chosen as the default language for LoadRunner. It might be interesting to bring that discussion forward and show how JavaScript folds within those design guidelines. It would also be interesting if HP could show the memory footprint for a defined virtual user against the Flight App for all of the supported languages (C, VB, JAVA, JavaScript) for ten users so people have a feel for the different relative resource weights for the virtual users where the business functionality is held as constant.

Good idea! I'll see what we can do.
