LoadComplete 4.0 is here!
Hi, Community!
We are very excited to announce LoadComplete 4.0, which contains huge improvements to help you correlate dynamic values in your scenarios, as well as big enhancements to the scenario editor. Take a quick look at the new features in our What's New video.
WHAT'S NEW
- Conditional logic and looping. Now you can create loops, use logic statements (If... Then... Else...), control execution timing, and call other scenarios to create complex testing scenarios. The old concept of "Complex Scenarios" has been replaced and your projects will be updated automatically when you open them in LoadComplete 4.0 for the first time.
- Correlation wizard. You have a new toolkit for dealing with dynamic values in your scenarios! The new wizard uses empirical search algorithms and predefined correlation rules to identify and automatically correlate dynamic values across your scenario.
- Customizable data correlation rules. LoadComplete 4.0 ships with predefined correlation rules for many popular web frameworks and technologies. You can save your own correlation rules to this library, making it easier to find and replace all instances of those dynamic values in your scenarios, as well as correlating them automatically for new recordings!
- Redesigned scenario editor. Simply drag-and-drop requests, pages, and operations around your scenario. The request body panel is now a unified view for all content types (replacing the Text, HTML, and Parameters tabs) and has a new button to easily toggle between text and rendered views (this feature has been added to the report details view as well!). The new summary tab displays information on child operations and erroneous settings in your scenario, and the timeline tab provides a visual interface for manipulating request timings across multiple connections.
- Specify think time values now at the request level in addition to the page level.
- Convert functional test scripts to load tests. If you have TestComplete 11.20 or later, you can convert your functional web tests in TestComplete to load tests in LoadComplete automatically.
- A bunch of user-reported bugs have been squashed!
- And more! See the release notes for all the details.
This release contains many features that came directly from customer requests. If you have an idea for a new feature or improvement, please let us know.
