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

[Bernhard Wagner]

Migrating the ANT scripts.... since they are XML and jelly is XML it might
be possible to develop an XSLT to migrate them.
The reason I'd find it interesting to use jelly instead of ant is that I
would like to script http sessions as easily as I can with webtest, but not
primarily for testing purposes. Also, I see ANT as a highly targeted build
programming language, while Jelly looks more like a general purpose
programming language incorporating Testing utilities natively. But I'm
probably drifting off-topic.

Thanks for your thoughts, Sigi, and Christian.

Bernhard
