### Workflow Analyzer

Performance Testing now scans your automation before a run starts and flags anything that will not work at scale, including unsupported activities (computer vision, image-based/OCR, Hardware Events input mode, local file system access, and desktop-only interaction patterns) and Studio version or activity-package mismatches. This surfaces problems before you spend robot minutes on a run that was never going to succeed. For details, see [Creating automated tests](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/creating-automated-tests).

### Capacity Planner

Instead of estimating virtual-user capacity from static CPU/RAM ratios, Capacity Planner runs a short series of safe load probes against your actual hardware and extrapolates a data-backed virtual-user recommendation in minutes. Built-in guardrails keep the recommendation within limits already proven safe on your infrastructure. For details, see [On-premises robot system requirements](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/on-premises-robot-system-requirements).

### Firewall-safe HTTP metrics

If port 5671 (AMQP to Azure Event Hub) is blocked, Performance Testing automatically falls back to WebSocket-based communication over port 443, and if that also fails, to API-based metric delivery. You no longer need to request a new firewall rule to get metrics flowing. For details, see [Software and system requirements](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/software-and-system-requirements) and [Troubleshooting performance testing](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/troubleshooting-performance-testing).

### Robot logs, in-app

Robot logs are now viewable and filterable, by load group and by severity, directly inside the Performance Testing results screen, alongside application logs. For details, see [Analyzing performance results](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/analyzing-performance-results).

### Elastic Robot Pools

Elastic Robot Pools generate load directly from your own Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud private capacity instead of shared, multi-tenant infrastructure, scaling load injectors up and down as a test requires. For details, see [Platform Units and infrastructure costs](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/platform-units-and-infrastructure-costs).

### Persona-based performance reports

Every performance test run now generates a dedicated report view for each stakeholder who needs to act on the result: Program Managers get a ship-it-or-not verdict, Developers get what is broken, InfraOps gets infrastructure issues, and QA/Testers get what needs to be retested. For details, see [Analyzing performance results](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/analyzing-performance-results).

### Upcoming deprecation of the GPT-4o model in Autopilot

We are deprecating the GPT-4o model in Autopilot. Support for GPT-4o will end on **October 31, 2026**. Before this date, switching to a supported alternative model in your AI Trust Layer Policy avoids disruption to test generation, quality checks, and other Autopilot capabilities that rely on model selection.
