Highlights

New Feature

Starting with XLT 8.3.0, load and performance test reports are optionally enriched with a new section named “Scorecard” created by the scorecard feature - a rule-based approach to evaluate a load test report and rate it automatically.

It works by applying XPath expressions on the load test report’s XML document and testing their value for some given condition. Furthermore, it allows you to weight certain aspects of your checks by assigning points to them that are summed up to a final score later on. Finally, you may assign a rating for the load test depending on the final score.

All of this enables you to test for certain performance or even functional criteria in an automated fashion to get a first insight into the load test’s outcome and thus save valuable time.

See #493 for more. An extensive documentation will follow.
