PureLoad 4.0 - What's New

[ Change Log | What's New | Press Release ]


We're very pleased to announce the public release of PureLoad 4.0. The following highlights some of the news. See the Change Log for a more complete list of changes.

The latest release of PureLoad includes enhancements, fixes as well as performance and memory usage optimizations. Some highlights are:

New Features

Server Monitoring

This is the first PureLoad release with support for server monitoring. The monitoring support is based on an agent-less solution using secure shell (SSH) targeting UNIX systems.

Features include:
  • Standard resources to monitor CPU, Memory etc. on UNIX servers
  • Scriptable resources, using scripting and standard OS commands
  • Monitoring results reported using table format or line graphs

Memory Management

  • Reported information compacted, when running test for a long time. I.e console will not run out of memory for longer tests periods (many hours or days)
  • Huge improvements in memory usage for large scenarios, both in console and on the worker side

Failed Tasks

  • View over failed tasks improved (now includes both table view and graphical chart)
  • Failed information can now be exported, both separately and using "Export All" wizard
  • Failed information now included in comparer data

Tasks

  • New task: HtmlXPathExtractTask: new task to support extract using XPath for HTML results
  • New task: VerifyTask that supports more advanced conditions
  • New Tasks: IPPool Tasks that allow using pools of IP addresses
  • All tasks can be controlled to not report any results
