Leapwork Performance delivers fast, frictionless performance testing that gives enterprises clear visibility into risk before it reaches end users. With its latest update, Leapwork Performance offers even more powerful capabilities to enable streamlined testing and deliver clear insights.
Leapwork has released Leapwork Performance 2026.6, which significantly reduces the time teams spend setting up tests, investigating failures, and communicating results. Leapwork Performance 2026.6 is available on May 18, 2026.
The release includes:
- APM integrations with Datadog and Grafana for correlating test results with application signals
- Postman collections import to generate runnable sequences from existing API tests
- Script data items and previous-variable support for dynamic, self-contained test data
- Reusable sub-sequences, improved JMX import, and better Timeline reports in PDF and HTML
- 30+ bug fixes including Timeline search filters, multi-delete, and direct sequence navigation
APM Integrations with Datadog and Grafana
Performance test results and application health metrics have always lived in separate tools, making root-cause analysis slow and manual.
Leapwork Performance 2026.6 connects directly to Datadog and Grafana so that step-level metrics from every Timeline run are forwarded automatically to whichever APM platform a team already uses.
→ The value: Teams can see test behavior and backend signals CPU spikes, database latency, error rates — on the same dashboard, at the same point in time. What used to require multi-tool correlation now takes seconds: one screen, one timeline, one answer.
Postman Collections Import
Most API-driven teams already maintain Postman collections that document their services. Recreating those request structures by hand in a performance tool has been a friction point that slows adoption.
Leapwork Performance 2026.6 imports Postman collections directly and converts them into executable sequences with HTTP steps and variables generated automatically. Teams go from import to first run in minutes, not days.
→ The value: With this update, existing API test investment becomes a performance test foundation immediately, with no rework.
Script Data Items and Previous Variables
Static data sets fall short when tests require dynamic values, such as dates relative to today, computed identifiers, and chained calculations. Leapwork Performance 2026.6’s two new authoring features close that gap without requiring external data pipelines.
Script data items let authors write a small JavaScript expression directly in the data item editor. The value is previewed instantly and flows into sequence steps at runtime. Previous variables in Set Value allow a step to reference a value set earlier in the same sequence and apply an offset — for example, adding three days to a check-in date to produce check-out.
→ The value: Now, test sequences become self-contained. Complex data logic lives inside the tool, runs correctly every time, and needs no manual refresh between test runs.
Reusable Sub-Sequences
Long recorded or imported flows often repeat shared steps, like login, setup, and teardown. Leapwork Performance 2026.6’s sub-sequence support lets authors extract any group of steps into a named, reusable sequence that can be called from multiple parent flows.
→ The value: Update a shared routine once and the change propagates everywhere. Large test libraries become easier to maintain and stay far less error-prone to change.
JMX CSV DataSet and JSON Parser Support
Teams importing JMeter test plans into Leapwork Performance previously had to manually reconcile CSV-driven test data and JSON extraction logic after every import. The Leapwork 2026.6 release preserves CSV DataSet configurations as table data items and maps JSON path extractors correctly during import.
→ The value: JMeter migrations arrive more complete, reducing post-import cleanup and accelerating the move to Leapwork Performance.
Improved Timeline Reports in PDF and HTML
Timeline run reports now include a structured overview of run outcomes, per-sequence metrics, request-level statistics, and error detail, exportable as PDF or HTML. The format is readable both by engineers investigating specific failures and by stakeholders who need a high-level summary.
→ The value: Results are easier to share, faster to review, and more useful as evidence when communicating performance findings across teams.
Additional Enhancements
The Leapwork Performance 2026.6 release also includes more than 30 bug fixes and targeted improvements:
- Timeline result search filters for faster navigation in large run histories
- Multi-delete in Explorer for bulk removal of sequences, data items, and other assets
- Direct navigation from Timeline results to the sequences that produced them
- Reliability fixes across run results, imports, table scrolling, and sequential data execution
