Jagger 2.0-m1 Release Notes

29th November 2016

Jagger 2.0-m1 is the first point release of Jagger 2.0, our first major upgrade in three years. The main theme of this release is usability, which breaks down into the following areas:

  • Simplified framework deployment using Docker containers
  • Simplified programming model for load test development
  • Better out-of-the-box Http protocol testing support
  • Introduction of REST API for assessing test results

##Framework deployment

From now on, deployment of the full Jagger framework in Docker containers will only take a few minutes. You will get all necessary infrastructure for test results storage, access, presentation, and sharing, including the Jagger Web UI and our new REST API service - JaaS (Jagger as a Service), which will provide the REST API for test result access and report generation

##Load test development

We have prepared a new test project template. Now you can develop your tests in pure Java. The description of the full load test for some API endpoint will take only six lines of code. Template will work with Docker containers out of the box; no additional configuration is required. You can start your first performance test with just three commands

##Http protocol support

We put extra effort into simplifying the http load test implementation. Our http library, based on the Spring http client, will help you to manage input test data, provide communication with SUT, and verify responses

Known issues in alpha release:

  • Docker containers with MySQL take a long time to initialize during the first launch. At the moment, there is a one-minute delay after starting applications before they work with MySQL
  • When WebUI is launched with an empty test results database it will through “no session information found” exception. Just run the load test to populate DB with the test results and update WebUi in your browser
  • It is not possible to download pdf report via Swagger UI of the JaaS REST API due to the Swagger issue. However, you can download reports in your browser
