Hi David, Even if we do not include webload with ofbiz its not a problem, since we can just include the test suites created for it.
I wanted to use JMeter (which can be obviously bundled with ofbiz), but its not as polished as webload. Also webload is thick client application and would require it to be installed on load machines, so it would be good if we just include the test suite and let the users download it themselves and test the application in their environment. Since at last its upto the users to do the test based on their specific functional requirements. Obviously we can use Webload to publish out performance test results based on specific hardware and software configuration. So GPL licensing won't pose any problem for us as we are not changing the source of webload just using it as it is. Moreover we are not bundling it with ofbiz (there is no need its better if user download by themselves as it is pretty big application).

Especially as we start working on stabilizing the release branch testing in general will be very important. Unfortunately WebLoad is GPL licensed. What that means is that not only can we not include it with OFBiz, but we can't even include code that uses it in OFBiz (because it would have to be GPL licensed, and if other code used it that code would have to be GPL licensed... the viral effect can kill our more friendly licensing). -David On Apr 18, 2007, at 7:39 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I have started working on creating a performance test for ofbiz along > with its development.
