PureLoad 3.4.1 - Change Log

PureLoad 3.4 includes new features as well as bug fixes.

Modifications and New Features

  • New installer/launcher

    New installer and launchers for all platforms. This means easier to install on servers with no windows system, better support for new platforms (such as Windows 2003 Server and modern Linux). Default Java VM is now Java 1.5.

  • Memory and Performance Optimizations

    Various internal optimizations to mimimize memory usage and increase performance. Including a new tool property to control if results to be reported on worker thread leve or not.

  • Stop On Error and Conditional Processing of Sequences

    You can now control if execution should stop on errors as well as specify an expression on a task sequence to control if a sequence should be executed or not.

  • New tasks: RuntimeSettingsTask and DescriptionTask

    The new RuntimeSettingsTask may be used to control various runtime settings, including a flag "Stop On Error" to control if execution should be stopped when a task fails. DescriptionTask is a simple task to allow adding description/documentation to a scenario.

  • Export Wizard

    New export wizard to allow export of summary and timeslot results, as well as comparer data. Summary and timeslot information are exported in CSV or Excel format.

  • No need to modify classpath when custom tasks installed

    There is no longer any need to modify classpath as long as custom classes (and extra jar-files) are installed in the extensions directory.

  • Console GUI Updates

    Several minor fixes in the graphical user interface of the Console, including changes how line graphs can be displayed.
