Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Key stability improvements to the Consent Journey Performance Tests in NHSDigital/manage-vaccinations-in-schools-testing. Aligned session offset with updated data extraction logic and capped maximum session size to 2000, preventing crashes in typical school scenarios and delivering more reliable test outcomes. Implemented via two commits: 44767f9485f2922252c3dd0c168fd7ffdd03f2b0 (Update consent-journey.jmx - Move session page up to page ten) and d9d6588e1cea466396d113ce91c168b32a1011b2 (Change session query - add an upper limit of 2000). Result: cleaner feedback loops, improved confidence in releases, and faster validation of consent-related changes.
