What do you mean? You can set up a distributed jMeter load test with multiple slave instances over 2 or 3 machines and a master instance of jMeter controlling the lot. It would give you the equivalent of thousands of simultaneous hits, well beyond what could possibly occur in reality.
As for doing realistic user paths, you can use something like Badboy (http://badboy.com.au/) to set up the test cases while systematically varying times, what they hit etc. then export the recording to a jMeter script to run as a series of tests. Its not rocket science just being systematic and persistent. larry On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 9:19 PM, Justin Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > >> There are a ton of open source load testing tools, >> you could do this yourself... > > Yeah, we've been down that route before but we just don't have the capacity > to generate the kind of load that will crush our servers and really bring > out the weak spots, nor the time or expertise to properly configure the test > scripts to simulate realistic user paths through the sites.
