Question

Support for Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP)

Answer

SAP had released a document on Load Testing for SUP found here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c03d916b-945f-2f10-ab9c-af72a97fc0f7?overridelayout=true

It states:
HP LoadRunner
Load Runner is licensed through SAP for testing ABAP based systems and Web (HTML) interfaces.
Currently there are only two methods for testing SUP with LoadRunner:

1. Custom C# program that consumes the MBO objects as described in the App Centric approach described above. This requires a .Net license for LoadRunner that is not part of the licensing agreement sold by SAP. SAP is working with HP to develop a licensing agreement for testing SUP.

2. Citrix client: this does not work for every app type but for MS Windows based apps Citrix can be used to record and parameterize the user interface of the app and replay the virtualized app for each test instance. This method works but requires a lot of hardware to simulate more than 100 client devices . The use of LoadRunner with the Citrix client is part of the SAP license.

Sybase have recently released SUP 2.2., which contains LoadRunner integration.
You can read the press release here:

However, this solution was developed and released without a collaboration with HP, so all the questions regarding it should be directed to Sybase.
