Distributed Load Testing! We extended our JMeter executor 

This version includes a new JMeter executor that allows you to create master-slave pods for JMeter tests, which will permit you to distribute them amongst multiple pods for better scalability.

General Fixes

Test Creation‍

• Test CRDs have a new Test Description field for better test classification

Artifact Storage

• You can now access MinIO and get the artifacts for specific tests without having to know the execution ID for each test

Pre-Built Executors

• Pre-built executors now support the JUnit XML format in test results
• All pre-built executors now support directories as sources, for which you can now easily provide files to run them
• You can now define whether to run post-run scripts before or after scraping artifacts

Templates

• You can now store your Templates as CRDs and reference them from specific resources, on top of providing them from helm charts.

Monitoring and reporting
