Changelog 2022.06

New Features & Improvements

• The new “Request Count” column in the “Total Time Spent” table of the test report now indicates how many total requests were made to each URL in your load test.
• There’s now a double-click option for click steps in a browser script. Previously you could only double-click from a code block, not an ordinary click step.
• You can now resize, sort, and hide columns in several of the test report tables.
• The Request Content-Type field in a protocol step is now a combo box, with common defaults.
• The dataset editor once again has undo/redo history.
• Code block HTTP operations like http.get now synchronously return a response object, for easier control flow. Previously you would have to grab it from a validator function and store it in a higher-scoped variable.
• We’ve improved alphanumeric sorting in the projects list and elsewhere.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with bot reservations sometimes not being released immediately when a cloud provider lacks capacity for a big load test.
• Fixed a problem that prevented errors from Evaluate steps from showing up in the script editor logs.
• Fixed a type coercion issue with typing non-strings from code blocks.
• Fixed some usability quirks with removing request bodies in a protocol script.

Further Reading

The Request Count column in the test report tables helps you understand not just how long requests took, but how many times each URL was actually hit during the test. This is useful for spotting unexpected patterns – maybe a particular resource is being requested far more often than you expected, or a URL that should be cached is getting hit on every iteration.
