This document summarizes new features and improvements planned for the Gatling load testing tool. Key points include:
- Adopting an actor model to represent scenario workflows as sequences of asynchronous actors.
- Refactoring the expression language to type check values and return failures instead of exceptions.
- Improving resource fetching to better approximate how browsers parallelize asset loading instead of sequential requests.
- Enhancing checks like regular expressions to support returning tuples instead of just strings.
- Simplifying templating to use string interpolation and external template files with expression language instead of Scalate.
