Hi Alan:
JMeter and the Grinder have good capabilities for both test
construction and test orchestration. Neither have test management
capabilities. Instead, frameworks have grown up around them to provide
test management. For example, some are using JMeter with Hudson, svn,
and MySQL to kick off multiple instances of scripted test clients
automatically. Others use QASync (www.qasync.com) and Bugzilla (www.bugzilla.org
) for defect tracking.
I recommend you look my product PushToTest TestMaker. TestMaker does
the test orchestration across a distributed network of test runners
(called TestNodes.) Details are at http://www.pushtotest.com. The
command-line script runner in TestMaker 5.5 runs scripted test
clients. We also just built a JMeter test script runner for TestMaker.
Details are at http://www.pushtotest.com/thecohenblog/archives/205
We are building an open source alternative to the proprietary test
management platforms (HP Quality Center, IBM Rational Tester). Details
are at http://www.pushtotest.com/thecohenblog/archives/7
There's a lot to choose from. Please let me know what you find. Thanks.

Hello,
I have used JMeter in a previous life but I'm coming back to it with
fresh eyes now. What I am looking for has nothing to do with Web
sites, HTTP or Java. I'm just looking for a distributed test-
management framework that can run multiple instances of scripted
test clients using multiple client test systems. On first look I'm
not sure if I'm going to be able to get JMeter to bent to my will
here. I'm also looking at Grinder. I'd appreciate any hints from
someone who has already done something similar.
Alan.
