Release Date: May 6, 2018

Here’s what’s new this week:

 

  1. Add a Description To Your Tests
  2. Single Sign-On/SAML Enhancements
  3. Dynatrace APM Now Bi-Directional (Populate Timeline Graphs)
  4. API Functional Test - Swagger Import Improvements

 

Add a Description To Your Tests

 

By popular demand, test configurations now have a “description” field, where you can document the scope or purpose of your test. No more “LongTestNameTryingToTellTheWholeStory” required!

 

This feature is available in JMeter Test (new), Taurus and API Functional Test flows.

 

Single Sign-On/SAML Enhancements

 

We’ve listened to feedback from our single sign-on (SSO) customers who wanted greater control over new user accounts and no more “pile up” of new users in the default workspace.

 

  1. Now you can turn off the “default” workspace, so users can only use BlazeMeter if they have been added to one or more workspaces by an admin. With this option, users who have not been assigned a workspace will get a splash screen asking them to contact the admin for access, instead of landing in a default workspace with full entitlements.
  2. Want to add user accounts without depending on email invitations for users to read and respond to?  Check! Now you can create and activate accounts entirely from the admin side.

 

Dynatrace APM Now Bi-Directional (Populate Timeline Graphs)

 

Our integration with Dynatrace is now bi-directional!  You’ve always been able to send “red dye” (decorated headers) outbound to make test traffic easy to see in Dynatrace and now you can pull Dynatrace metrics inbound to visualize in Timeline Graphs. This is also the debut of Dynatrace support in our new test create (NTC) screens. We’ve made this new functionality available in both our legacy and new test create (NTC) screens.

Our new API Functional Test feature continues to evolve at a fast pace. This sprint we’ve enhanced the new Import swagger file feature:

 

  1. Parameters are now converted to variables, so you can easily populate them with test data from a CSV file.
  2. Base URL (default address) and base path (default path) are saved in global variables.
  3. Now you can cancel import of swagger file mid-import if needed.

 

Look for “Import swagger file” in the (...) menu at the bottom of the Scenario list box:
