Welcome, dear viewer, to this third video on Hazeltest! Since the application's Map Load Runner made appearances in both the first and the second video, it made sense to dedicate the channel's third video to this feature. Being the first in a three-part series on the Map Load Runner, this video serves as an introduction to the feature, and parts 2 and 3 will cover the practical sides of the feature's two usage examples introduced (from the theoretical perspective) in this video.
First, you'll get a short refresher on the term "load dimension" and why load dimensions are important, before being introduced to a new load dimension (load dimension 6). Then, I take you on a short trip into the past by telling you a little about Hazeltest's history and the Pokedex Runner, as the Load Runner really addresses the drawbacks the Pokedex Runners had, before talking you through the Load Runner's most important configuration properties. Finally, we take a look at the aforementioned two usage examples of how the Load Runner can be used to satisfy different testing requirements as a a result of combining it with the Batch Test Loop (example 1) and the Boundary Test Loop (example 2).
That's quite a bit of ground to cover, so get yourself a fresh mug of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the video!
