ZebraTester 5.5S (Released 3 Mar 2020)
5.5S features:
Changes in Kerberos with SPNEGO: - Instead of getting the ticket-granting ticket (TGT) every time from the Key Distribution Centre by authenticating using the username and password, ZT will now have the option to look if there's a ticket available in the local OS cache. If it's available, then ZT will use that ticket to do the web server's challenge.  |

User-Defined data points: - ZT enables the user to create data points that can make custom performance metrics and later become part of the performance test results. Find these measured user-defined data points in a results Diagram.  |
Input files support in LoadRunner to ZT conversion: - The LoadRunner-to-ZT conversion will now take the external parameter files (.dat files) from LoadRunner and convert these to the input files/variables relationship in ZT.    |
