[Performance/Taurus] Automation Enhancement: Fail tests against the Baseline when running from Taurus

One of the most useful things about having a baseline to compare with, and fail the test in comparison to it (baseline-based failure criteria), is to have more accurate failures when automating your tests. 

If you are automating your BlazeMeter tests via Taurus (running on the Cloud), now you can define baseline-based failure criteria in the YAML and have your test fail automatically in BlazeMeter. 

Check out BlazeMeter documentation to learn more about this feature.

[Mock Services] Helper Wizards for Request Matching and Dynamic Response Creation

The help wizards for XPath and JSON Path help you generate XPaths and JSON Paths for request matchers in a transaction so you don't have to enter the path manually. Just specify what type of value to match in tree-based selection fields and the path is generated for you.

The help wizard for responses helps you create dynamic values (Magic Strings) in the response content. The information is pulled from the request and rendered on the response so you don't have to worry about entering the syntax manually.
