Now that we prepare to enter winter, our developers do not need an excuse to stay at home and code new features. Plus since the weather is cool here they will not be distracted by snow. Which is why even though our latest post about new features was just 6 weeks ago, here we are again with a new batch. Oh and don't worry for them, as long as we pay them 1€ at the end of each month; it's technically not slavery!
We recently released a new minor version of OctoPerf. It includes many improvements in terms of usability and also support for a new monitoring technology. Let's have a look at these.
One of the main feedback from our large customers was about how difficult it can be to follow the activity on a workspace.
We decided to implement a new section in the subscription page that will log every test done on the current workspace:
I am pleased to announce a very important Milestone in OctoPerf's history. OctoPerf is releasing it's Enterprise Edition, an OctoPerf version you can install anywhere and use to run your own tests.
It's been a couple of years since we originally launched OctoPerf and I consider myself lucky to have been part of this adventure. We keep the development pace very high to meet our challenges and are happy now to propose a solution able to deal with high security requirements. The OctoPerf Enterprise Edition is on par with the SaaS solution in terms of features and User Interface. It is still the same easy to learn, quick and price attractive software , but now you can host all data yourself. You own everything. Like our SaaS platform you can use it for free with up to 50 concurrent users. You are not limited in number of test, duration or features. Feel free to give it a try.
If you want to find out more about the required configuration to run it, this is covered in the Enterprise Edition documentation.
I know it's hot outside and you feel like you're missing out on your precious sun tan, but that doesn't mean folks at OctoPerf stopped working. In fact we've been working on major features, but more on that in a later post, today, I'd like to talk about the little things that will make you life even easier.
Well the first one is a not-so-little thing, we listened to feedbacks regarding the workspace and rights system and implemented an upgraded version. Previously, you could only give access to an entire workspace, which would not be convenient when collaborating with another team or working for several different customers. Since you might not want to allow someone to view or edit all your projects but just a particular one. Which is why we've added advanced rights management:
The latest version of OctoPerf comes with an improvement to the Search HTTP actions: You can now replace values in the flagged HTTP requests actions!
You could already flag HTTP actions that match some search criteria, for example:
