Summary Page for Versions 5.5-Y

New features:

• Apica Table Server – This version introduces the Apica Table Server (ATS); a web application, which can hold data from multiple tables. This feature avoids supplying the script’s data input needs via attaching input files.

  • ZebraTester includes new inline functions to communicate with ATS for data retrieval and feeding.

• Support for TLS 1.3 – ZT now supports TLS 1.3

  • Quicker handshake

  • Removes weak ECC ciphers

  • Encrypts all messages after server hello

  • And More

• Made the Replay Settings specific to scripts – Now Replay Settings are specific to scripts so that users can save the replay settings along with the prxdat files.

• Made Replay stateful – Now ZT keeps the state of replay, which means a user can come back to the replay screen and can see the latest replay in progress, or the latest replay summary, any time.

• GUI to filter traffic before recording – Now use the ZT GUI to configure the traffic filter rules (both by Domain and URL) before starting the recording. This configuration is available under the Personal Settings.

• Unique Number Variable Type Support – The unique number variable type, where users can create a unique number by giving the start number and block size per virtual user, is now supported.

  • Users can also configure the action needed in case there’s an out-of-values condition for the variable created.

• Support for Custom date format in the current date and time-variable – Any string literal can now be part of the date and time-variable value.

  • The string literal should be inside single quotes.

• Display the loop variables latest values in the job output file – This feature helps the users see the latest value of all loop variables, extracted during the script execution, as a table format in the job output file.

• Search option available for Request content – A search option is now available for requested content for all POST requests.

• REST API endpoint for the result file – There’s a new REST endpoint for getting the prxres file in JSON format:
  GET <http://127.0.0.1:7996/?cmd=getZebraTestResult&jobId=<jobid>&execAgent=<execagentname>>

• Pagination for Load test jobs page – Pagination is now available for both exec agent jobs and cluster jobs so that it's easier to monitor the jobs.

• Housekeeping for clearing completed cluster jobs – The housekeeping job is available that will remove all the completed cluster jobs older than 3 days.

• New Inline function to match string – A new inline function strFindRegEx is now supported and returns whether or not the string contains a substring that matches the given regular expression.

Bug fixes/improvements in 5.5Y:

• Transaction count mismatch issue for the failed pages.

• Fixed: sometimes for long-duration tests transactions, passed counts were incorrect and so showed as in the wrong order.

• Improved: Load Runner to ZT conversion

  • Handled both line and block comments.

• Changed the validity of ZT root certificate from 7305 days to 397 days (13 months)
