<h3>Version 1.5</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Abstracted out the concept of the Sampler, SamplerController, and TestSample.
|
|
|
|
|
A Sampler represents code that understands a protocol (such as HTTP,
|
|
|
|
|
or FTP, RMI, SMTP, etc..). It is the code that actually makes the
|
|
|
|
|
connection to whatever is being tested. A SamplerController
|
|
|
|
|
represents code that understands how to organize and run a group
|
|
|
|
|
of test samples. It is what binds together a Sampler and it's test
|
|
|
|
|
samples and runs them. A TestSample represents code that understands
|
|
|
|
|
how to gather information from the user about a particular test.
|
|
|
|
|
For a website, it would represent a URL and any information to be sent
|
|
|
|
|
with the URL.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>The UI has been updated to make entering test samples more convenient.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Thread groups have been added, allowing a user to setup multiple test to run
|
|
|
|
|
concurrently, and to allow sharing of test samples between those tests.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>It is now possible to save and load test samples.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>....and many more minor changes/improvements...</li>
|
|
|
|
