V.2.3.0.

Improvements

  • Created debug document for On-Prem users to help resolve issues or to identify cause of issues. This document was suggested by Jacob due to customer having issues using the converter. 

  • If Jenkins fails in the deployment or after smoke test is ran, all changes are rolled back to previous version.

  • Added functional tests for HAR converter to validate stability of the feature. 

  • Added support to the first RTE command, TE_connect, this includes functional tests. Currently RTE is not functional as this function isn't a request, more functions for RTE will be supported in future releases.

  • Now, using CDN to route traffic to https. These changes should help reduce costs for the converter.

V.2.2.2.

Brain & Dashboard changes:

Improvements

  • The On-Premise converter now supports converting HAR files (and all formats supported by https://converter.blazemeter.com/) in the batch conversion and through Webapp. Related BUG tickets  and Enhancements were requested by customers.
  • On premise converter now detects custom domain for backend communication, which allows to deploy the on premise converter on a server and access it from different machines (not just localhost). Related defect, enhancement was requested by customers

Dashboard changes

Improvements

  • Overall dashboard is now faster due to improvements on authentication mechanism and migration of database engine. Related defect ticket and enhancement was requested by customer success due to changes in performance since migration from AWS to GCP.
  • Uploading batch statistics will now be processed faster due to statistics being processed by frontend (no need to contact backend service). Related Defects and Enhancement was suggested by internal team to improve performance and simplify code/maintenance.

V.2.1.1.

Brain changes:

Improvements

  • Added support for single HAR conversion for On-Prem users. 
  • Extended Taurus to generate JMX based on RTE. This release injects the custom code into Taurus.

Brain changes

Migration changes

  • Migrating the code from Python 2.7 to 3.0 due to GCP requirements, and run associated regression test (fixing found bugs accordingly) to verify no semantic/functional change is introduced. 

Improvements

  • Stop using custom code for YAML serialization which has caused many bugs and regression issues. 
  • Refactor code to use regex utility classes instead of custom code to handle regex escaping. This fixes existing issues with regex formatting and will avoid regression tests in this regard.

V.1.5.3.
