Welcome back to the latest entry in Loadero showcasing their latest features and fixes! Warning: As mentioned last month, Loadero has implemented expiration for logs and artifacts. More details in the “Result expiration” section, which happens to be the first section right below this warning! Deprecation warning for Loadero API users: we have renamed one of the assert sorting options to “path”, instead of “path_id”. We have also renamed 4 filters for the run resource: “filter_started_from” -> “filter_processing_started_from” “filter_started_to” -> “filter_processing_started_to” “filter ..read more

Welcome back to Loadero’s monthly newsletter and a happy new year to you all! Last month we implemented several fixes, as well some brand new functionality – all of which will be gone over in this article. Warning: To increase computational capacity, Loadero is currently working on implementing expiration for logs/artifacts. This also doubles as a data protection measure, since logs and artifacts will no longer be available permanently but will be deleted from Loadero’s systems a certain amount of time after the run’s conclusion. Once this change goes live you will have a limited amount of ti ..read more

Welcome to our blog post about unlocking the full potential of Loadero beyond its Web App interface. While the Loadero Web App provides a user-friendly platform for conducting end-to-end tests with a global reach, did you know that you can also create, manage, and execute tests using the Command Line Interface (CLI)? In this blog post, we will guide you through the essential steps to harness Loadero’s CLI, including the test generator, test manager, test runner, and statistics modules – all seamlessly integrated with the Loadero Python library. Prerequisites Loadero Account and Project: Make ..read more

Welcome back to the Loadero newsletter and a happy new year to you all! As we look back at 2023 we see that it has been a rocky year and we are as eager as ever to move onwards to 2024! But before we jump into the new year, we wanted to bring you updates on what new features have been added in December. Receiving emails during a test A noteworthy new feature added last month is the ability to receive and process email messages during tests. This allows you to handle cases like receiving a verification code, confirmation links, and much more.  In order to receive an email during the test ..read more

Welcome back to Loadero’s monthly updates! As we didn’t have as much to share last month, this time we are coming to you with updates from the past two months. Before we get into product updates, we are very excited to announce that Loadero is now ISO certified and we have acquired ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security), and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity) certifications! These certifications prove our internal processes to be up to industry standards and emphasize the attention to detail we pay in every step of the process.

When running automated tests frequently on your website, at one point it may be essential to keep your website statistics consistent with correct visitor counts, conversions, and geo-location data. The impact of such skewed data from automation can lead to pricy mistakes for incorrect ad targeting and the business economy statistics, hence it can be important to exclude test automation from analytics data.  First off, please keep in mind that if possible do not run big load tests on production servers to minimize impact on the end user. But we do understand that there might be a need to ..read more

As another month has passed, another development cycle has finished during which we’ve been focusing on fixing various issues as well as working on new features for Loadero. Stability improvements across the platform You may have noticed that this has been a recurring theme in recent months. As of the beginning of summer we’ve switched focus from pushing on new features towards making all kinds of improvements to our existing features. And September has been no exception in that sense as we have improved test start procedure which should now be more reliable as well as faster. This, coupled w ..read more

Strap in for a lengthy updates post, as we have yet another slew of improvements and new features for you! Stability improvements for lengthy WebRTC test runs We have resolved an issue where tests with high amounts of participants and a long running duration were prone to crashing due to running out of space on the instance to store all the WebRTC metrics gathered throughout the test run. We have implemented a couple of changes that significantly reduce the probability of this happening (in fact, it hasn’t happened at all since we deployed the fix!). In addition, we have made other small fixe ..read more

After a quiet June, we again have multiple functionality updates as well as fixes to share with you! Fake custom commands for local development Loadero offers a handful of custom commands aside from the frameworks’ base functionality, such as the ability to change network settings mid-test, timing the execution of specific steps, etc. However, this meant that performing local script development and debugging was made more difficult. If a test was failing in Loadero, you could not just copy paste the script to a local project and debug it from there. Now, you may import fake custom commands pa ..read more

One of the main targets we try to achieve with Loadero is to make load and performance testing as accessible and simple as possible. As a major step toward making the test creation easier, a whole new test builder was designed and developed, with major benefits: Intuitive test configuration flow Fewer actions to get to the final result Higher test customisability Whether you have never used Loadero before, or are an existing user that has gotten used to the old test builder, this blog post will guide you through setting up a test in Loadero via our new test builder. Prerequisites In order ..read more
