ngrinder-3.5.0

3.5.0 (2020.07.31)

• New Feature

  • Introduce server mode agent
    • In previous version, nGrinder agents made TCP connections from agent to controller and this made hard to locate a nGrinder controller behind a firewall. From version 3.5.0, nGrinder introduces server mode agent so that a controller make a connection from a controller to agents.
    • See https://github.com/naver/ngrinder/wiki/server-mode-agent
  • Update agents automatically
    • When the test is executed with older version of agent, it triggers agent auto update.
  • Support GitHub script storage
    • Users can save and run their test script saved in not only embedded SVN server but also external GitHub repository. GitHub enterprise deployed in each own organization is also supported.
    • See https://github.com/naver/ngrinder/wiki/github-script-storage
  • Support MySQL
    • Since 3.5.0, we support H2 and MySQL as databases and fade out Cubrid and provide cubrid-to-mysql migration script.
    • See https://github.com/naver/ngrinder/wiki/mysql-migration
  • Improve test restart time
    • In previous version, nGrinder agent doesn't cache executed test lib & resources, Therefore, it took long time to execute tests in the case of using large amount of libraries and resource. From nGrinder 3.5.0, the test execution is much faster by sending only changed test resources to agents
  • Fade out nGrinder-recorder
    • nGrinder-recorder is no longer supported.
  • Support multiple user defined statistics
    • See https://github.com/naver/ngrinder/wiki/multiple-user-defined-statistic-in-ngrinder
  • Ignore error count
    • Some of users want to continue testing even if there were many errors in the test. So nGrinder 3.5.0 supports that as a test option in advanced configuration panel
  • Support custom classpath
    • If you want to set classpath for test scripts, you can use this.

ngrinder-3.4

3.4 (2016.05.24)

We have not been publically released nGrinder for last 2 years. It's true that we thought previous nGrinder was enough for our internal use.
As time goes by, surrounding circumstances(for example Java version or Docker) was been changing.. So we decided to continously enhance nGrinder.

• New features and changes
  • Support Java 1.8
    • nGrinder now supports Java 1.8. Controller supports java 1.7 or above and Agent supports java 1.6 or above.
  • Provide elaborated script generator
    • Since nGrinder 3.0, we provided the script generation wizard that helps users easily create a default script.
    • However, it only created simple scripts for GET method case and people frequently asked to us how to use the other methods, how to use cookies and headers in the script.
    • In nGrinder 3.4, you can choose one of methods such as GET, POST and set HTTP headers and cookies in script creation form, then it will create useful example codes for you.
  • Provide a brand new nGrinder script recorder
    • A few years ago, we had released the script recorder based on JXBrowser. However it was not easy to run it due to several reasons.
    • Now, we have developed a brand-new script recorder from the scratch using the Chrome extension technology. If you are using Chrome browser, you can install nGrinder Script Recorder package.
    • See https://github.com/naver/ngrinder/wiki/nGrinder-Recorder-Guide
  • Provide the dockerized nGrinder
    • Now, dockerize is becoming as one of fashions now. You can easily run dockerized nGrinder.
    • See https://hub.docker.com/r/ngrinder/controller/
  • Introduce new plugin architecture based on the PF4J
    • Previously we have used Atlassian Plugin Framework(APF) for plugins. However we found out it was too overwhelmed way to ngrinder extension and also found there are not much developers familiar with it.
    • So we dropped APF and adopt PF4J instead. See https://github.com/naver/ngrinder/wiki/How-to-develop-plugin for details.
  • Add intro.js for easy understanding.
    • You can find the very small button "Tip" on every pages. Click it and see what it is.
