[Webtest] load tests with WebTest

[Christian Sell]

Hello,

I have just started looking into WebTest, and found it quite handy. As I 
see it, I would define it as an ANT-based XML scripting frontend to 
HttpUnit (correct?).

However, I would like to use it not only to test my web pages 
functionally, but also with respect to throughput and behavior under 
load. I am therefore thinking of an extension that would allow me to 
specify the number of concurrent sessions to create, and some 
load/throughput-based reporting features.

Question: does the above sound resonable? Has anything already been done 
in that direction (or have I overlooked something that is already 
there)?. Any hints?

thanks in advance,
Christian
