Hot dang! That sounds excellent. I'll have to look into that aspect of Selenium-- perhaps it could wear a couple of hats. .... > I think all of the load-testing tools, open and commercial, are a > pain.

Argh. Well thanks for the suggestions, and insight. I can run whatever platforms I need to, for the best tools, so I guess I'll widen my spread (thanks for mentioning Grinder, I'd forgotten that one, been meaning to check it). Sounds like they're all painful tho... hmmm... probably not a good application for CF, neh? That is, creating a CF-based load tester would be like writing a CF-based huge-text-file parser, right? And if they are all that "rough" to use, it's probably not trivial at all. Mmmmm.... yeah, guess I'll check grinder next, and cycle 'round to OpenSTA again. Give 'em some shaking and see what falls out. I'll check out the $$$ ones a bit too, one of my projects might spring for something like that. Makes me wish is was a bit easier to test them out tho... ouch... /me looks at the clock > > So... > > > > Let the annual "what are people using" testing thread commence! > > (and if it dies with this post, so be it.) > > I'm teaching a preconference course on this sort of thing at CFUnited, > though starting with the basics of SVN and automation with Ant to make > a complete package :) Well that is just plain beautiful. Someday I'll get the Office to pay for me to go to a con... almost made it to a couple of fun ones a bit ago-- if they went for those they'll probably go for something CF related... Luckily I've been blessed with the experience of SVN and ANT, so it sounds like a great course. I'd recommend anyone pick those skills up. May your course be a full one! We need more folks with the knowledge. Thanks for the contribution to this thread, JP!
