DevWeb Vs TruClient Protocol

Micro Focus products have evolved recently; product names, version conventions, new features, enhancements etc. It is performance testers responsibility to adhere to the recent changes and be top of it. One of my reader has asked what is the difference between DevWeb and TruClient protocol in Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional. This blog post will address the comparison between DevWeb and TruClient.

  • Scalable
  • Cross-platform

Hi there, we encourage authors to share their entire posts here on DEV, rather than mostly pointing to an external link. Doing so helps ensure that readers don’t have to jump around to too many different pages, and it helps focus the conversation right here in the comments section.

If you choose to do so, you also have the option to add a canonical URL directly to your post.
