Changelog 2024.09

Webhook Improvements

We’ve extended Loadster’s Webhooks so you can now get notified whenever a load test is started or when a load test finishes. In particular, you can now receive a JSON object when a test finishes with the high-level test report.

You can then parse the webhook payload to take action or notify your team when the outcome of the load test doesn’t meet your error rate or response time thresholds. Webhooks are particularly useful if you are running a nightly scheduled load test or something, and a human isn’t watching the test.

Recording Hover Events

The Loadster Recorder Browser Extension can now record Hover events on certain elements that have JavaScript event handlers attached. Recording Hover steps is useful for sites with hover menus or other features where hovering elements is significant and needs to be part of your script.

Recording of Hover events is disabled by default, but you can enable it by expanding the “Advanced” section in the recording dialog.
