This release is mostly about stats and HTML reporting. We made these main changes:

• We reworked how NBomber calculates the scenario-level stats.
• We added the calculation of the data transfer throughput.
• We improved HTML report with a new data transfer chart.
• We made the console, TXT, and Markdown reports consistent.
• We made NBomber Cluster much easier to troubleshoot.
• We improved the logging.

In the NBomber v6.2.0 release, we focused primarily on improvements to cluster mode, and we also introduced several useful enhancements to the HTML Report.

In the new release, we are introducing Custom Metrics, one of the most requested features. Additionally, we've made several improvements related to thresholds, memory consumption, CSV, HTML reports, and more.

Custom Metrics​

In the new release, we ship a few big features:

• Scenario Weight
• Native extensions for probability distributions
• Runtime Thresholds

Scenario Weight​

In the new release, we focused on TimescaleDB support and web browser testing capabilities. Some of our customers use PostgreSQL to store various data, so adding PostgreSQL support through the Timescale extension was a logical step for us. Additionally, we are developing NBomber.Cloud and use Timescale to store and query our metrics.

NBomber​

• Scheduler timer calibration
• Fixed stopping process for scenarios
• Add API method NBomberRunner.EnableStopTestForcibly
• Fixed. Incorrect handling of stop scenarios earlier blocks the console
• Fixed. Under the high load the console timer is desynchronize
• Added Log.CloseAndFlush
• Refactored functionality to stop Scenario actors
• Refactored measuring time to use time buckets
• Changed the default ReportingInterval to 5 sec
• Adapted NBomber for int64 changes in NBomber.Contracts

Hey folks, we were busy for nearly half a year working on a new big release of NBomber. I am so happy to announce that we finally completed it!

In this release, we focused on improving engine performance, fixing RAM consumption issues, improving UI/UX, including reporting, extending API to provide flexibility but keep it SIMPLE as before.
