v1.1.8

New Features:

  1. Enhanced performance for long running performace tests.
  2. Added feature to view performance test logs n notepad
  3. Added feature to default instance creation to null when a cyclic reference is detected. This can be configured from the Config Added support for creating new functional test cases based on exisiting ones
  4. Added more viewable URLs and projects in the start page
  5. Previous URLs now included in the dropdown selection when adding service URLs.
  6. Added detection of schema changes in the WCF service's wsdl
  7. Added feature to navigate (Next diff/Previous diff) differences between expected and actual responses
  8. Added feature to load default settings from the RuntimeConfig.xml file if it can be found in wcfstorm.exe folder.
  9. Added support for Dictionary types
  10. Added busy animation on Invoke button
  11. Double-clicking the "Input" sub node of a test case opens it up in a new tab.

Bug Fixes :

  1. Proxy server settings now persisted into the RuntimeConfig.xml
  2. Added option to specify whether whitespace will be maintainted for System.String types. (Config -> Under the hood --> Preserve whitespace for string types)
  3. Added more details to db errors
  4. Byte array types can only be populated by loading a file. The individual Byte nodes are no longer shown. Instead, the length and filename are shown
  5. TestCase(s) node is removed if it doesnt contain anymore test cases
  6. Fixed bug that prevernts System.Object types from being populated with ServiceKnown types.

v1.1.7

New Features:

  1. Added support for skipping comparison of "random" (like DateTime, GUID, etc.) data in the response. To try it out, create a test case and click on "Edit Default Validations". Previously, all validations uses exact matching
  2. Added support for renaming Functional and Perf test cases
  3. Added feature to default instance creation to null when a cyclic reference is detected. This can be configured from the Config Added support for creating new functional test cases based on exisiting ones
  4. Added "Learn More" links. Click Help --> Learn More
  5. Modified service tree node to display the currently open project
  6. Added support for adding client app.config files into the project
  7. Added support for Remove/Refresh client app.config files
  8. Added support for persisting the config values configured via the UI in a project. (Sample config values are UseMessageContract, Credentials, Impersonation level etc.) To try it out, create a project and save it. Open up windows explored and navigate to the project folder, a "RuntimeConfig.xml" file will be located there.
  9. Added the saving of data types containing cyclic references as an expected response in a test case
  10. Added the saving of data types containing cyclic references as an expected response in a test case
  11. Added support to recreate the client proxy after 10 minutes if it has been idle i.e none of the wcf methods had been invoked within the last 10 min.
  12. Added mextcpBinding support
  13. Loading of test cases containing plymorphic types (speed enhancement)

Bug Fixes :

  1. Fixed the error that occurs when a test case is created after loading a custom plugin
  2. Fixed error that occurs when Check for Updates is ran before adding a service
  3. Fixed error that occurs when a tree node is selected and the user clicked outside the treeview.
  4. Fixed error when loading tests containing the Decimal data type.
  5. Fixed error that occurs for array of nullables

v1.1.6

New Features:

  1. Added feature to support cyclic references in the response. (Saving of responses in a test case containing cyclic references will be added in the next release)
  2. Added feature to configure impersonation level
  3. Added feature to default instance creation to null when a cyclic reference is detected. This can be configured from the Config menu.

Bug Fixes :

  1. Fixed bug in handling of void return types when saving functional test cases. Void responses can no longer be saved as an expected response in a test case.
  2. Fixed bug on loading of plugin for EditMethodInput that targets all (targetType.All) methods.

v1.1.5

New Features:

  1. Added enhancements to speed up performance testing especially in high-load scenarios
  2. Added feature to save the log statements of a perf test
