Hi,
until yesterday I was convinced that WebTest was not an appropriate tool
for load testing. A mail from Serban Balamaci on htmlunit's user mailing
list seems to show that I was perhaps wrong:
--------------------
Well actually I'm using it as a load testing tool. I load up to 350 threads
on one machine. I upped the memory to max 512M of my 1Gig system. I could
even go higher with the number of threads. But i choose to be able to do
some work on my laptop as well so i use 3 other machines that do the same
thing and then consolidate my results into one doc. I even have ajax that is
processed in my pages. No problems
so far, besides some problems with varios javascript parts that were not
necesary in the bussines flow.
I use in every new spawned thread a new instance of WebClient, as i need to
simulate users with different sessions.
Works very good, and at that time that i tried htmlunit was actually my only
choice to process ajax requests.
So "is htmlunit the best tool for load testing?". Answer: YES.
Nice work HtmlUnit.
--------------------
Marc.
