I’ve recently been involved in helping to train a new performance tester here at Trust IV. As a starting point, I thought I’d introduce my colleague to the WebTours application which simulates a simple airline booking system and provides new testers with an application where they can practice core skills such as script parameterisation and correlation as well as application error handling.

The roadmap for LoadRunner 12 was presented at HP Discover Barcelona in December last year. Since that time, I've been lucky enough to have a beta copy of LR12 for evaluation purposes.
