In this release test plan statistics methods minElapsedTime, maxElapsedTime, meanElapsedTime, elapsedTimePercentile90, elapsedTimePercentile95, elapsedTimePercentile99 have been renamed to minSampleTime, maxSampleTime, meanSampleTime, sampleTimePercentile90, sampleTimePercentile95, sampleTimePercentile99 to avoid confusion with existing elapsedTime method.
The first set of methods is focused on time spent exclusively on sampling, while the last method is focused on time between the test plan/transaction/sample start and end. This is a significant difference, since the first ones do not take into consideration pre & post processors or timers spent time, nor parallelism execution of samplers in thread groups, while the last one does.
This is a NON BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE CHANGE, and requires any existing users to change from previous methods to the new ones to be able to use this and future versions.
We have decided to apply the changes without any deprecation notice since we are in a 0 major version and API is considered currently unstable, also avoiding in the mean time the burden of having to manage @deprecated methods.
