In addition, by supporting CI tools such as Jenkins, Bamboo, AWS Code Pipeline and Azure DevOps, each load test can be config- ured and then triggered either independently, or as part of a pipeline.

Scripting Technologies LoadRunner Cloud supports a wide range of LoadRunner Professional and LoadRunner Enterprise protocols from Web HTTP/HTML to TruClient, as well as Open Source tools such as Gatling, JMeter and Selenium, in addition to support for a new, innovative scripting protocol has been added—DevWeb. One of the benefits of DevWeb is it enables users to perform small load tests locally. These same scripts can then Figure 3.

DevWeb is ideal for developers and Dev Testers, since scripts can be written in modern development environments using JavaScript on a variety of IDEs and platforms.
