Well, those are all good thoughts, Celeste, and surely helpful to many. But my point wasn't "what do we do if the bosses don't listen" so much as "why aren't we pushing testing (especially load testing) more". I think there's a sense in many that it's not important, or it's too difficult, etc.
While it's true that many sites may not get thousands (or tens of thousands) of hits in a day, it's reasonable for one getting just hundreds to get several at once, and there are clearly issues (like the one that touched off this thread) that may be triggered with just such a low level of load. If I seem to be on a bit of a bandwagon for load testing, even for "smaller shops", I am. And as has been pointed out, cost of tools isn't really the issue. I'm curious for the kinds of arguments against it that have either kept people from pursuing it or, even in the face of these assertions of the low costs and good benefits, why they would still say "nah, not going to bother". /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: Haseltine, Celeste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 10:55 AM > To: JRun-Talk > Subject: RE: load testing (was RE: Difficult To Reproduce Session Issue) > > > Charlie, > > I just try to point out the business cases for testing.
