What approach could I follow here? Though this does not *necessarily* have to involve Python, I would prefer this. The way I see it, it would carry out certain common usage patterns many usage patterns to simulate many users. I thought about using mechanize/subprocess, the multimechanize package, or the twill package. <snip> > It's my belief that this request is way beyond the remit of a tutor mailing > list.

As you may have noticed I have posted this message on the main Python list. I received one off-list reply (a suggestion to use Github Enterprise). I could still try gmane.comp.python.testing.general. It is surprising that, unlike unittests, load/stress tests apparently are a more obscure domain. I have a book about Python testing (http://www.packtpub.com/python-testing-beginners-guide/book) and as far I can remember it does not cover this topic at all. A little googling does reveal some promising packages, e.g. http://locust.io/, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/funkload, or this overview: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy regards, Albert-Jan _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
