[Webtest] Turning WebTest tests into concurrent load tests.

[NEALE, John]

I'm currently working on a similar tool for my project. Namely to re-use
many webtests to perform load testing. Rather than using JMeter I have
gone with The Grinder 3 due to it's use of jython. I've written a short
python script to call Ant to run my webtests. I'd say I am not at
demonstration stage yet but I believe I've proved the concept as
practical.

I'll post my findings further on once I am happy with everything.=20

Cheers,

John

JMeter's features are not limited to reporting ;-) For instance it is
important to be able to use many computers to simulate high charge and
JMeter can do that.

Seems good, but rather (1) + (2) than first (1) and then (2) ;-)

Let me know if you need improvements in WebTest to make this integration
easier.

Cheers,
Marc.
