<h3><u>Core Improvements:</u></h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* A new Extractor that uses CSS or jquery-like selector syntax has been introduced,
|
||||
it allows using either JODD or JSOUP implementations</h4>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<figure width="762" height="277" image="changes/2.9/01_css_jquery_extractor.png"></figure>

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* JMeter can now handle different types of documents (PDF, MsOffice files, Apache OpenOffice's files...)
|
||||
within different elements </h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Regular Expression Extractor, extract text from documents</li>

||||
<li>Assertion Response, check text in documents</li>
|
||||
<li>View Results Tree, view as a text the documents</li>

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* A new Regex User Parameters Pre-Processor that enables injecting input parameter names and values
|
||||
using a reference extracted by Regular Expression Extractor from a previous response</h4>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<figure width="727" height="138" image="changes/2.9/13_regex_user_params.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* TCP Sampler: new options</h4>
|
||||
<p>TCP Sampler has been enhanced with new options to allow setting <b>Close Connection</b>,
|
||||
<b>SO_LINGER</b> and <b>End of line(EOL) byte value</b>
|
||||
<figure width="1147" height="302" image="changes/2.9/03_new_options_tcp_sampler.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>

<h4>* JMS Publisher: new option</h4>
|
||||
<p>JMS Publisher can now send Bytes Messages</p>
|
||||
<figure width="833" height="701" image="changes/2.9/11_jms_publisher_bytes.png"></figure>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* Memory and performance improvements</h4>
|
||||
<p>Significant improvements have been done in this version on memory usage per Thread and CPU when more
|
||||
than one Post Processor is used as child of a Sampler</p>
|
||||
<p>JSR223 Elements (enable using Groovy, Scala... as scripting languages) have been improved to enable caching
|
||||
of Compilation results when scripts are passed in Text area</p>
|
||||
<figure width="841" height="470" image="changes/2.9/12_jsr223_sampler.png"></figure>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some configuration defaults have changed to improve performances by default(see <bugzilla>54412</bugzilla>),
|
||||
see description in New and Noteworthy section.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Distributed testing now uses MODE_STRIPPED_BATCH, which returns samples in batch mode (every 100 samples
|
||||
or every minute by default). Note also that MODE_STRIPPED_BATCH strips response data from SampleResult,
|
||||
so if you need it change to another mode (mode property in jmeter.properties)</li>
|
||||
<li>Result data are now saved to CSV by default (jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format in jmeter.properties)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* XPath Assertion now enables using a JMeter variable as input</h4>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<figure width="800" height="317" image="changes/2.9/14_xpath_assertion.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><u>GUI and ergonomy Improvements:</u></h3>
|
||||
<h4>* Search feature has been improved to search within more internal fields of elements and expand search results</h4>
|
||||
<h4>* Copy/paste is now possible between 2 JMeter instances >= 2.9 version</h4>
|
||||
<p>Copy element(s) from one JMeter instance:
|
||||
<figure width="618" height="262" image="changes/2.9/06_copy_paste_between_2_jmeter1.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Paste element(s) into a second JMeter instance:
|
||||
<figure width="617" height="278" image="changes/2.9/06_copy_paste_between_2_jmeter2.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* HTTP Header Manager</h4>
|
||||
<p>Allow copy from clipboard to HeaderPanel, headers are supposed to be separated by new line
|
||||
and have the following form <i>name:value</i>
|
||||
<figure width="661" height="263" image="changes/2.9/07_header_panel_add_from_clipboard.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* Module Controller</h4>
|
||||
<p>Module Controller has been improved to better render referenced controller and expand it by clicking on a new button
|
||||
<figure width="832" height="274" image="changes/2.9/08_module_controller_improvements.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* HTTP Proxy Server</h4>
|
||||
<p>HTTP Proxy Server now has a button to add a set of default exclusions for URL patterns,
|
||||
this list can be configured through property : <i>proxy.excludes.suggested</i>
|
||||
<figure width="811" height="214" image="changes/2.9/09_proxy_excludes_suggested.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* Rendering of target controller has been improved in HTTP Proxy Server</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><u>HTTP Proxy Server recording:</u></h3>
|
||||
<p>* HTTP Proxy Server now automatically uses HTTP Request with Raw Post Body mode for
|
||||
samples that only have one unnamed argument (JSON, XML, GWT...)</p>
|
||||
<p>* HTTP Proxy Server does not force user to select the type of Sampler in HTTP Sampler Settings,
|
||||
this allows easier switch between implementations as Sampler do not have this information set anymore</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<figure width="484" height="307" image="changes/2.9/10_http_proxy_dont_force_http_type.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>* SamplerCreator interface has been enriched to meet new requirements for plug-in providers</p>
|
||||
<p>* It is now possible to create binary sampler for x-www-form-urlencoded POST request by
|
||||
modifying <i>proxy.binary.types</i> property to add application/x-www-form-urlencoded </p>
|
||||
<p>* Improved timestamp format auto-detection when reading CSV files</p>

|

|

<p>Some configuration defaults have changed to improve performances by default (see <bugzilla>54412</bugzilla>),

<p>Webservice sampler now adds to request the headers that are set through Header Manager, these were previously ignored</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><i>jdbcsampler.cachesize</i> property has been removed, it previously limited the size of a per connection cache of Map < String,
|
||||
PreparedStatement > , it also limited the size of this
|
||||
map which held the PreparedStatement for SQL queries. This limitation provoked a bug <bugzilla>53995</bugzilla>.
|
||||
It has been removed so now size of these 2 maps is not limited anymore. This change changes behaviour as starting from
|
||||
this version no PreparedStatement will be closed during the test.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Starting with this version, there are some important changes on JSR223 Test Elements:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>JSR223 Test Elements that have an invalid filename (not existing or unreadable) will make test fail instead of
|
||||
making the element silently work</li>
|
||||
<li>In JSR223 Test Elements: responseCodeOk, responseMessageOK and successful are set before
|
||||
script is executed, if responseData is set it will not be overriden anymore by a toString() on script return value</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>View Results Tree now considers response with missing content type as text.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In remote Test mode, JMeter now exits in error if one of the remote engines cannot be configured,
|
||||
previously it started the test with available engines.</p>

<h4>* JMS Publisher: new option</h4>
|
||||
<p>JMS Publisher can now send Bytes Messages</p>
|
||||
<figure width="833" height="701" image="changes/2.9/11_jms_publisher_bytes.png"></figure>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* Memory and performance improvements</h4>
|
||||
<p>Significant improvements have been done in this version on memory usage per Thread and CPU when more
|
||||
than one Post Processor is used as child of a Sampler</p>
|
||||
<p>JSR223 Elements (enable using Groovy, Scala... as scripting languages) have been improved to enable caching
|
||||
of Compilation results when scripts are passed in Text area</p>
|
||||
<figure width="841" height="470" image="changes/2.9/12_jsr223_sampler.png"></figure>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some configuration defaults have changed to improve performances by default(see <bugzilla>54412</bugzilla>),
|
||||
see description in New and Noteworthy section.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Distributed testing now uses MODE_STRIPPED_BATCH, which returns samples in batch mode (every 100 samples
|
||||
or every minute by default). Note also that MODE_STRIPPED_BATCH strips response data from SampleResult,
|
||||
so if you need it change to another mode (mode property in jmeter.properties)</li>
|
||||
<li>Result data are now saved to CSV by default (jmeter.save.saveservice.output_format in jmeter.properties)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>* XPath Assertion now enables using a JMeter variable as input</h4>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<figure width="800" height="317" image="changes/2.9/14_xpath_assertion.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><u>GUI and ergonomy Improvements:</u></h3>
|
||||
<h4>* Search feature has been improved to search within more internal fields of elements and expand search results</h4>
|
||||
<h4>* Copy/paste is now possible between 2 JMeter instances >= 2.9 version</h4>
|
||||
<p>Copy element(s) from one JMeter instance:
|
||||
<figure width="618" height="262" image="changes/2.9/06_copy_paste_between_2_jmeter1.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Paste element(s) into a second JMeter instance:
|
||||
<figure width="617" height="278" image="changes/2.9/06_copy_paste_between_2_jmeter2.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* HTTP Header Manager</h4>
|
||||
<p>Allow copy from clipboard to HeaderPanel, headers are supposed to be separated by new line
|
||||
and have the following form <i>name:value</i>
|
||||
<figure width="661" height="263" image="changes/2.9/07_header_panel_add_from_clipboard.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* Module Controller</h4>
|
||||
<p>Module Controller has been improved to better render referenced controller and expand it by clicking on a new button
|
||||
<figure width="832" height="274" image="changes/2.9/08_module_controller_improvements.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* HTTP Proxy Server</h4>
|
||||
<p>HTTP Proxy Server now has a button to add a set of default exclusions for URL patterns,
|
||||
this list can be configured through property : <i>proxy.excludes.suggested</i>
|
||||
<figure width="811" height="214" image="changes/2.9/09_proxy_excludes_suggested.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h4>* Rendering of target controller has been improved in HTTP Proxy Server</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><u>HTTP Proxy Server recording:</u></h3>
|
||||
<p>* HTTP Proxy Server now automatically uses HTTP Request with Raw Post Body mode for
|
||||
samples that only have one unnamed argument (JSON, XML, GWT...)</p>
|
||||
<p>* HTTP Proxy Server does not force user to select the type of Sampler in HTTP Sampler Settings,
|
||||
this allows easier switch between implementations as Sampler do not have this information set anymore</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<figure width="484" height="307" image="changes/2.9/10_http_proxy_dont_force_http_type.png"></figure>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>* SamplerCreator interface has been enriched to meet new requirements for plug-in providers</p>
|
||||
<p>* It is now possible to create binary sampler for x-www-form-urlencoded POST request by
|
||||
modifying <i>proxy.binary.types</i> property to add application/x-www-form-urlencoded </p>
|
||||
<p>* Improved timestamp format auto-detection when reading CSV files</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- =================== Known bugs =================== -->
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Known bugs</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Once Only controller behaves correctly under a Thread Group or Loop Controller,
|
||||
but otherwise its behaviour is not consistent (or clearly specified).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Listeners don't show iteration counts when a If Controller has a condition which is always false from the first iteration (see <bugzilla>52496</bugzilla>).
|
||||
A workaround is to add a sampler at the same level as (or superior to) the If Controller.
|
||||
For example a Test Action sampler with 0 wait time (which doesn't generate a sample),
|
||||
or a Debug Sampler with all fields set to False (to reduce the sample size).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Webservice sampler does not consider the HTTP response status to compute the status of a response, thus a response 500 containing a non empty body will be considered as successful, see <bugzilla>54006</bugzilla>.
|
||||
To workaround this issue, ensure you always read the response and add a Response Assertion checking text inside the response.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Changing language can break part of the configuration of the following elements (see <bugzilla>53679</bugzilla>):
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>CSV Data Set Config (sharing mode will be lost)</li>
|
||||
<li>Constant Throughput Timer (Calculate throughput based on will be lost)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The numbers that appear to the left of the green box are the number of active threads / total number of threads,
|
||||
these only apply to a locally run test; they do not include any threads started on remote systems when using client-server mode, (see <bugzilla>54152</bugzilla>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that there is a bug in Java on some Linux systems that manifests
|
||||
itself as the following error when running the test cases or JMeter itself:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
[java] WARNING: Couldn't flush user prefs:
|
||||
java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException:
|
||||
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Not supported: indent-number
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
This does not affect JMeter operation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- =================== Incompatible changes =================== -->
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Incompatible changes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>JMeter requires now a Java 6 runtime or higher.</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Some configuration defaults have changed to improve performances by default (see <bugzilla>54412</bugzilla>),
|
||||
see description in New and Noteworthy section.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Webservice sampler now adds to request the headers that are set through Header Manager, these were previously ignored</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><i>jdbcsampler.cachesize</i> property has been removed, it previously limited the size of a per connection cache of Map < String,
|
||||
PreparedStatement > , it also limited the size of this
|
||||
map which held the PreparedStatement for SQL queries. This limitation provoked a bug <bugzilla>53995</bugzilla>.
|
||||
It has been removed so now size of these 2 maps is not limited anymore. This change changes behaviour as starting from
|
||||
this version no PreparedStatement will be closed during the test.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Starting with this version, there are some important changes on JSR223 Test Elements:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>JSR223 Test Elements that have an invalid filename (not existing or unreadable) will make test fail instead of
|
||||
making the element silently work</li>
|
||||
<li>In JSR223 Test Elements: responseCodeOk, responseMessageOK and successful are set before
|
||||
script is executed, if responseData is set it will not be overriden anymore by a toString() on script return value</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>View Results Tree now considers response with missing content type as text.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In remote Test mode, JMeter now exits in error if one of the remote engines cannot be configured,
|
||||
previously it started the test with available engines.</p>
