openSTA - WAS RE: [Webtest] load tests with WebTest

[Goeschl Siegfried]

A comment from a Canoo Webtest novice and former openSTA expert

openSTA is a very powerful tool and it allows to test applications with =
dynamic URLs, i.e. URLs containing a unique session id. At this point =
you get stuck with simple Capture and Replay Tool. You can solve that =
problem with a little bit of coding with openSTA while Mega-$$ tools do =
that magic automatically

Thanks

needed all that, and the tool delivers to its promises, it would=20
probably be worth setting up/dedicating a windoze machine

thanks anyway..
