What's New in 6.2

For upgrade limitations and detailed steps on upgrading the Appliance from v5 to v6, see Upgrading the Appliance from v5 to v6.

Features

• Assign roles to applications to enable more granular access control and improve security

• Test published applications in seamless mode within the StoreFront and NetScaler connectors. This helps ensure that performance testing aligns with Citrix guidelines and real-world usage

• Use the new Public API endpoint to create and surface custom events. This way, you can trace and debug connector behavior directly on the Appliance without relying on external logs

Changes/Improvements

• The login page now features an improved design and clearer guidance on supported username formats

• The Test Access table within a role now shows an info message when additional Tests are assigned that the user can’t access

• The Access Control tables now show the total number of items to improve visibility

• Newly added, unsaved Tests now appear at the top of the list and are highlighted with a green line

• Remove Tests from a role in bulk, making role management faster and more efficient

• The “Generate PDF Report” button for a single Test is now in the table header on the Results page, matching the location of the Compare Test feature

• The comment field from a Load Test run is now included in the test-specific section of the PDF report

• PDF reports for Application and Load Tests now combine results into consolidated tables for better structure and readability

• Start Application Tests directly from the Test Configuration page

• Charts now display VSImax values more distinctly, making it easier to link each VSImax value to its respective Test

• The number of items in tables now displays consistently throughout the product

• The ReDoc documentation for Public API v8-preview now includes clearer and more descriptive details of API functionalities

• The UI now consistently displays “(optional)” next to optional fields

• Order the Event endpoint in the Public API v8-preview by Timestamp or Event Title

• Public API v8-preview now includes an endpoint to retrieve events by Test type

• Public API v8-preview now includes an endpoint that lets you retrieve a list of location IDs associated with a Test Run, filtered by location name

• Public API v8-preview now returns locationName in the response payload of the Launcher endpoints

Bug Fixes

• EUX charts in Load Test results keep spinning when EUX is disabled

• The Tests endpoint in Public API v6 breaks compatibility due to a field name change from "scheduleIntervalInMinutes" to "intervalInMinutes"

• The account-groups endpoint in Public API v6 now requires "memberIds", causing a breaking change

• When the engineStartTimeout value is set for a Test, it is not applied to the session timeout behavior

• The product version is missing from the Application Testing results and the PDF report

• The Session Metrics aggregator stops working after a few cycles

• Upgrading Login Enterprise sometimes stalls during the bootstrapping phase

• The Storefront connector inadvertently removes the "CitrixAuth" string from URLs when parsing headers during authentication

• The Edge web automation driver doesn’t update automatically

• Restarting services while Tests are in progress can cause active sessions to be miscounted when the service restarts. This may lead the system to schedule additional, unnecessary sessions

• The PDF report load-test-runs download endpoint isn’t available in the Public API v8-preview
  Disabled applications in application groups are executed during Continuous Testing because their status is not respected

Technical Notes

• The Angular web development framework has been updated from version 18 to 20
