  • Engine Listener Balancing Balancing - ensuring that processing of requests happens evenly across the engines

Visual Testing 

Visual testing is an important part of the graph development cycle in the Kitewheel Hub. We had been tracking several issues with visual testing and had seen a number of potential issuesproblems: 

  • The graph may show the pulsating listener icon but may not show the "Running" confirmation in the testing console
  • The graph may under report the number of events - in some cases not showing any events at all

All of these These issues were caused by a lack of robust communications between the browser and the Kitewheel Hub which meant that a single missed piece of communication could result in the issues above. Essentially this all came down to timing. In order to resolve this we have reversed the communication process so that the client will poll a distinct service to get the visual testing results. We believe that this has eradicated all the vast majority of the visual testing woes that we have seen aboveproblems. 

Not content with that set of fixes we have also made some changes to the visual display of the visual testing information to make life easier for our all Kitewheel configurers. 

Testing Console Transaction Expansion 

The Testing Console will automatically expand the most recent test run and fold up the previous finished runs: . This allows you to automatically 

Transaction Highlighting

The transaction expand arrow and the Transaction Number text will now all highlight to make it easier to see which

When the test has finished the Listen Started... message will be removed.
