1、Cloud-based load generators

2、Licensing - 50 vUsers free

3、VUGEN improvements
The ability to review replay statistics for tests after each run.
Including details on total connections, disconnections and bytes downloaded.
The ability to edit common file types in the editor.
Support for recording in the Internet Explorer 11, Chrome v30 and Firefox v23 browsers.
The ability to create scripts from Wireshark or Fiddler files.
The ability to record HTML5 or SPDY protocols.

4、TruClient improvements
TruClient script converter. This basically replays your TruClient scripts and records the HTTP/HTML traffic allowing you to create these script typers from TruClient recordings. This is similar to recording GUI scripts and then converting to other script types.
The addition of support for Rendezvous points, IP spoofing, VTS2 and Shunra network virtualisation in TruClient scripts.

5、Linux Load Generator improvements
Building on the increased support for Linux Load Generators in 11.5x, LDAP, DNS, FTP, IMAP, ODBC, POP3, SMTP and Windows Sockets scripts can now be replayed through UNIX load generators.

6、CI/CD support
Better integration with Jenkins etc.

7、Platform support
Support for installation on Windows Server 2012.
(LoadRunner 11.x and PC 11.x only supported up to W2K8 which was a barrier to enterprise adoption).
LoadRunner components can now run in a "non-admin" user account with UAC and DEP enabled.
