| HP Software credentials and the legacy Mercury certified community |
|
|
| If you hold a "current" legacy Mercury credential that meets current HP credential requirements, you will be automatically grandfathered into one of the above credentials. Legacy LoadRunner candidates who hold the 8.x CPC credential must take the Performance Center upgrade exam [HP2-N16] in order to gain the ASE - HP Performance Center v9 before September 1, 2008, when the CPC credential expires.
To see how your particular credential maps to the new HP Software credential, consult the HP Software credentials upgrade chart.

| HP Software launches first performance-based exams |
|
|
| For some products and applications, HP Software has launched the first set of exams that require demonstration of skills that map to advanced levels of competency. The new ASE credentials in “HP Quality Center v9” and “HP Performance Center v9” both require you to pass performance-based exams.
The Performance Testing Council defines 'performance-based testing' as a means of measuring individual competence by having the individual do the actual tasks or performances of their work environment.
How do performance-based exams work?
During the exam, candidates will engage with a virtual lab to answer test questions in a timed and proctored environment. HP Software accredited training locations will administer the performance-based tests. To view the location in your area that will offer performance-based exams, click on your region below:
