For anyone following this thread, the mini conference went extremely well and the thing that came out of this portion was the suggestion by Tim Ruppert that we look at WebTest (http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/WebTestHome.html) for doing this sort of testing. It certainly seems to be what we were looking for. There will probably still be a place for Grinder for doing load testing.

Al, this is really very interesting, thanks for sharing your ideas and research results. Just one point (after a very quick review of your document) I see that we will need to enhance the Grinder tool to better support the tests we will need in OFBiz. That's great, however I think that it is worth noticing (even if it is probably what you have already planned to do) that it would beneficial for the two projects (OFBiz and The Grinder) if all the enhancements that are *not* strictly connected with OFBiz, will be discussed/designed/implemented (also) in the Grinder community. In this way the workload for the OFBiz community will be limited to the integration stuff and the risks of having an incomplete tool and a lot of new code to maintain will be lower. Jacopo
