Changelog 2023.08

More Supported Cloud Regions

Loadster now supports 5 additional cloud regions, bringing the total to 29.

You can now run load tests from Australia - Melbourne, India - Hyderabad, Asia - Indonesia, **Europe - Spain **, and Europe - Italy, along with the 24 previous regions. All of these new regions are powered by AWS.

Bot Logs in Traces

When your bots generate traces in a load test, they now include logs, similar to what you see when running a single bot in the script editor. The logs are all the logs generated by that bot in the current iteration.

These bot logs can make it easier to figure out what went wrong, or confirm what data the bot typed into a form field, or what the bot was most recently doing when the error occurred.

Other Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug with overriding a script variable’s update or selection strategy when overriding dataset variables for a bot group.
• Fixed a potential naming conflict caused by previously deleted scenarios of the same name.
• Made the “Strip URL query parameter values” setting work on # fragments as well as ? query strings, even though they aren’t technically the same thing.
• Fixed a graph issue that caused Network Throughput maximum values to get obscured when the graph was zoomed to a particular time range.
• Clarified aggregated values in the Response Time Percentiles graph, so it shows an overall percentile instead of an average of time-sliced percentiles.
• Improved resilience to browser crashes when a bot’s browser crashed in a load test.
• Fixed a problem that caused silent clicks to still raise errors if the element existed in the DOM but was invisible.
• Fixed a bug that prevented bots from stopping a script on error when the error arose from an included script.
• Clarified the fuel estimate to show how much is needed for tests when fuel is insufficient.
• Fixed a usability problem with dragging text when an inspector tooltip is expanded in the script editor.
