Performance testing becomes a paid add-on with Starter, Team, Scale and Custom packages (still included in the Trial), existing tests can be filled from a data set with a preview and undo, and every load run keeps its own server log with credentials that reach the load requests.
Performance and load testing built from the tests you already have, performance targets in the requirements matrix, every authentication method your APIs use (OAuth 2.0 the Postman way, NTLM, JWT Bearer, Hawk and more), file uploads and form bodies, and connection settings per test and environment.
Shift-Left API now explains your test results instead of just listing them — failed runs grouped into causes, passing runs checked for regressions they would miss, a Project Assistant that answers from your own project and acts on changes you approve, multi-document requirements, self-building workflows, more faithful Postman imports, and a broad performance pass.
September 2026 shipped in three releases. This page links each one with its date range and headline changes, and lists the build 2.0.96.231 items that are documented elsewhere.
Our largest release to date — enterprise SSO and access control, data-driven testing across many rows of data, a rebuilt test-generation engine, the new Test Workbench, a CI/CD runner, and execution parity between the desktop Agent and the cloud Engine.
Data-driven testing built in, enterprise collaboration and access control with workspaces, SSO, and fine-grained roles, plus a smarter AI foundation that learns from your API.
Our biggest release yet—a major leap in automatic test generation, 100+ tests per endpoint, a new Coverage dashboard, faster spec imports, scalable execution, and stronger data security.
Cookie-based authentication, refreshed analytics charts, and a smoother multi-step workflow canvas.
Rename and copy endpoints, plus smoother workflow canvas connector controls across zoom levels.
Reliable auth-profile sync across the Shift-Left Engine and Agent, an EV code-signed Windows installer, and faster test runs.
Documentation navigation improvements, faster Help Center discovery, and minor UI fixes released in February 2026.
We can help you scope coverage, stabilize test data, and wire up spec-first testing for your pipeline.
