Release Notes: PDF viewer, Load Testing, step measurements, Chrome Extension (Phase 2)
Blog post from testRigor
Several new features were introduced last week to enhance user experience and performance across various platforms. A significant update is the addition of a PDF Viewer setting in Chrome and Firefox, allowing users to open PDFs directly in the browser, a feature previously disabled to address past issues. Load testing now includes error tracking with screenshots for failed steps, enabling detailed analysis and comparison to baselines, along with a server graph displaying the number of issues by category. Performance improvements include a default setting to measure the duration of each step, which can be adjusted in the settings. For Chrome extensions, users can now open extensions directly in a new tab using a command, marking the completion of a testing phase. In CI/CD integration, a new Settings Schema allows users to override suite settings via API for specific retests without altering the application's default settings, with specific fields changeable as defined by the SETTINGS_ALLOWED_CHANGE_BY_RETEST_API constant.
