loadUI Changelog

What's new in loadUI 2.7.0

Apr 29, 2014
  • Features:
  • You can now load test single REST requests via our new REST Runner
  • Get more realistic load test results by testing all the elements of a web page using our brand new Web Runner. This new Web Runner downloads all the assets of a page so you can get more accurate and granular load test results from your web pages.
  • Run basic HTTP load tests like you've always been able to do using the HTTP Runner. This is the same Web Runner you know and love, but with a new name to more accurately reflect what it does.
  • You can now view your First Byte response time in order to get a more accurate picture of latency on your system.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Corrected the line ending problem for .bat, .sh and .command files
  • Corrected the issue with the About LoadUI dialog box occasionally not displaying

New in loadUI 2.6.8 (Feb 21, 2014)

  • This release contains a very important change: LoadUI Agents no longer require JavaFX during run-time, which means that it is now much easier to install the agents in headless servers. It also means that LoadUI Agents can achieve better performance.

  • Web Server Monitoring (Pro):
  • Is your IIS or Apache Web server the bottleneck in your service? Find out by investigating their requests/second, cache hit rate, and active connections.
  • Application Server Monitoring (Pro):
  • How well is your Application Server doing? Trace performance issues to your Application Server and monitor heap size, thread count, and even custom metrics on JBoss, WebLogic and Tomcat application servers.
  • Database Monitoring (Pro):
  • Are your performance problems caused by your database? With loadUI Pro you can study how your MySQL, Oracle, or MS SQL database is handling the load by looking at Slow Queries, Full Joins, and Average Lock Wait.
  • Dedicated Support (Pro):
  • We’ve added dedicated and unlimited Pro Support in the loadUI Pro license. Get in touch with our team via mail or through the Pro Specific forum. Let us shed some light on any questions you might have!
