I have been trying to use EdgeSight For Load Testing v3.8 from Citrix to stress test my new XenApp 6 farm, but I am finding the product a bit on the flaky side (to say the least). Now I am not familiar with testing as a process so it is a bit of a steep learning curve, but does anyone possibly have a) any suggestions as to a better product or method for simulating some genuine user load on these systems, or b) a link to a good guide or blog that tells you how to get EdgeSight For Load Testing working properly to do some simple simulations? The user guide from Citrix managed to get me started quite well, but then it starts getting bogged down in thousands of options rather than giving any real-world answers, such as why the thing is timing out constantly and throwing up "concurrent connection limit exceeded" errors all over the place. As usual for the day after a football match, my Google-fu appears to be weak.
I could just migrate a couple of hundred users, but I think the support guys might kill me :-) TIA, JRR -- "On two occasions...I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." *IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humour or irrational religious beliefs.
