Hi, It sounds like you are doing good job over there with load testing. I guess that this is not something most people will do (so many preparations) and as you mentioned, it has at least one problem - sessions are pre-created so it may not be completely the same as real life. But I guess it isn't the most important.
One other thing I find problematic is that you cannot change the created load. I.e. if you want to see how the system will handle twice of the current load.. but I guess you can work around this.. Regarding your thoughts of allowing utilization of JMeter config elements like cookies, I guess that another approach (which maybe others already implemented?) will be to simply convert apache logs into jmeter samplers(creating a jmx file) but I am not sure how jmeter will handle thousands of samplers in one script. Anyway, this is interesting topic.. maybe more related to the users list and not dev... Thanks for sharing. Shmuel Krakower. בתאריך 2012 3 20 13:00, מאת "Geoff Simmons" <ge...@uplex.de>:
