NeoLoad 2024.3 to include extensive RTE support and more!

We’re excited to unveil a sneak peek of the upcoming NeoLoad 2024.3 release, which will be generally available this November.

One of the most anticipated features in this release is remote terminal emulation (RTE) support — a game-changer for teams responsible for the performance of mainframe and other legacy systems. With NeoLoad 2024.3, we’re introducing support for two of the most common remote terminal emulation (RTE) protocol families, VT-420 and TN3270, with more to be added in subsequent releases.

Mainframe applications often rely on older, legacy protocols that are not as straightforward to work with as modern, web-based protocols. These protocols require specific handling during testing to accurately emulate the behavior of real users. This makes scripting complex and time-consuming. Changes in the underlying system often require significant script updates, further increasing the effort and expertise needed.

Thanks to NeoLoad’s low-code/no-code design, you’ll be able to effortlessly design RTE tests and record interactions without complex scripting, ensuring seamless and efficient performance testing across both legacy and modern systems.

A scalable approach to performance testing for legacy systems is critical, as they handle essential business functions like transaction processing, inventory management, banking, and customer data management. Any downtime or performance degradation can lead to significant disruptions, affecting services, operations, and even compliance.

With NeoLoad, users can easily design tests for RTE and get performance insights fast, ensuring the reliability of their most critical legacy systems. This is a major leap forward for teams working across both legacy and modern environments, ensuring you can uphold high performance standards across all your systems – without the need for complex scripting or maintenance.
