LoadComplete 2.6 update released

Greetings all!



We have just released LoadComplete 2.6, which includes some important new functionality as well as bugfixes.



The most important improvement in the release is the ability to structure scenarios to more closely correspond to the browser user experience, which is generally defined by pages. LoadComplete 2.6 supports:

• Inserting custom page breaks during scenario recording from the recording widget


• Inserting and deleting page breaks into a recorded scenario


• Adjusting think time at the page level


• Scenario sorting by all pages and custom pages


• Editing page names and adding comments, for better readability of scenarios

These features allow users to define pages in terms that are meaningful to their scenarios, which is particularly relevant for load testing RIA applications (AJAX, Flex, Silverlight), and track performance metrics for the user defined pages in the load testing reports.



We have also introduced the following new functional changes and enhancements:

• LoadComplete can record HTTPS traffic in Firefox, in addition to previously supported Internet Explorer. 


• Think time is now aggregated and recorded for pages only. All previous options and dialogs related to think time apply solely to page think times. This is more aligned with common load testing practices and also gives users much fewer points to edit think time data


• Requests are marked with different icons depending on the type of the resource


• Support for several authentication protocols has been improved (Kerberos, NTLM, Digest)
