Paul, you are missing the point that when more logic is handled on the client side, a session recording may just be wrong. Just imagine a client side logic to determine which page to load next based on the number of currently logged in clients. Load testing with the recorded session may be interesting, but it doesn't simulate the load that real users may produce.
Additionally recording is a very bad solution in term of maintainability. Cheers, Marc. Paul Rogers wrote: > I see jmeter as a way to exercise the server.
