The experience uses AI to enhance your test scripts by suggesting correlations, parameterizations, and other improvements. You can then run the load test at scale in **Azure Load Testing**.
+Learn how to use the Azure App Testing browser extension for Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome to easily create JMeter load tests. The experience uses AI to enhance your test scripts by suggesting correlations, parameterizations, and other improvements. You can then run the load test at scale in **Azure Load Testing**.
 
 This quickstart guides you through the steps of installing the browser extension, recording a user journey, reviewing and enhancing the generated load test script with AI assistance, and finally running the load test in **Azure Load Testing**.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-- Azure App Testing browser extension for Microsoft Edge. [Download and install it here](https://aka.ms/AppTesting/Browser-Ext).  
+- Azure App Testing browser extension for [Microsoft Edge](https://aka.ms/AppTesting/Browser-Ext) or [Google Chrome](https://aka.ms/AppTesting/Browser-Ext-Chrome).
 - An Azure account with an active subscription. Needed to run load tests at scale in **Azure Load Testing**. [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/purchase-options/azure-account?cid=msft_learn).

+Starting **November 1, 2025**, Calling Plan licenses assigned to Teams Resource Accounts will no longer support On-Behalf-Of PSTN outbound calls or server-initiated outbound calls. Customers now need a financing balance, which can be provided by a  **[Communications Credits](/microsoftteams/set-up-communications-credits-for-your-organization)** license for legacy customers or telco overage for MCA customers. To activate a Communications Credits license, a **[Pay-As-You-Go Calling Plan](/microsoftteams/calling-plans-for-office-365#pay-as-you-go-calling-plan)** license is required as a prerequisite, since the Communications Credits license is an add-on. While telco overage can be set up without a PAYG license initially, the PAYG license must be acquired and assigned to the Resource Account for proper functionality. Therefore, customers must ensure the RA has a PAYG license along with either a Communications Credits license or telco overage.

 ## Start enabling analytics rules
 
 By default, all analytics rules in the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP applications are provided as [alert rule templates](../manage-analytics-rule-templates.md#manage-template-versions-for-your-scheduled-analytics-rules-in-microsoft-sentinel). We recommend a staged approach, where you use the templates to create a few rules at a time, allowing time for fine-tuning each scenario.
