My main goal for 1.7 is to update JMeter so that it
has a consistent user interface.  For version 1.8, I
want to really get inside of JMeter.

An idea I have (not fully thought out, so may be a
little strange):

* Create the concept of simulated users that have
particular behaviors:
  - users that click on nearly every link (spider)
  - users that click reload many times (stock price
checker)
  - users hand-editing the URL to hack/break your
system (hacker)
  - users that spend only a few minutes at the site
and click on only a few links (news checker)
  - (customized user)

So, you could set up your test plan with more
higher-leve (more abtstract) entries like, "I want to
simulate 100 users. There will be 20 "stock price
checker" users, 70 "news checker" users, 5 "spider"
users, and 5 "hacker" users.    

Each user type would have a control panel with
customizable parameters.  You can also create a custom
user with various traits just using the GUI.

Any thoughts?  This is much higher level than what
JMeter currently allows.  But, for QA and managers,
this type sounds like it is closer to what they want.
Right now, JMeter seems to be best-suited for
programmers and programmer-type QA's.  

I would like to here from everyone and where they want
JMeter to be in the next few major releases.  

Thanks,
Kevin Hammond
