April 2025[Service Virtualization]: Messaging Support with IBM MQBlazeMeter Service Virtualization now supports Messaging, starting with IBM MQ—the most widely used messaging middleware. This enables asynchronous communication between applications via message queues and topics, improving system resilience by decoupling senders and receivers.Key highlights:Support for Queues and TopicsVirtualization of Point-to-Point, Publish-Subscribe, and Request/Reply architecturesNew recording functionality allows users to capture messages via virtual queues/topics to create messaging-based virtual servicesThis marks a major expansion of BlazeMeter’s virtualization capabilities into enterprise messaging environments.[API Testing & Monitoring]: AI Script Assistant Introducing the AI Script Assistant, designed to simplify and accelerate script creation across test steps and settings using natural language input.No more scanning through documentation or memorizing JavaScript syntax—the AI Script Assistant helps you write, validate, and refine scripts with ease.Note: AI features require consent. Please contact your team administrator to enable this capability.Subtests Now Use Configured Test Locations: Subtests now run in the location defined in their Environment settings, rather than defaulting to the parent test’s location. This change provides better environment-level control and more accurate test execution, especially for distributed or environment-specific testing.[API Testing & Monitoring] Subtests Now Use Configured Test LocationsPreviously, subtests were restricted to running in the same location as the parent test, which limited flexibility in environment-specific configurations. Based on user feedback, subtests now automatically use the location defined in their own Environment settings, allowing for more accurate and tailored test execution across distributed environments.
