[or-cvs] Re: stress-testing



I have talked with the owner of the stress-testing resources I spoke of 
earlier.

Here is the setup that was described to me that would be acceptable by them:

They said we could use the resources, but they weren't comfortable with the 
remote access idea. So, no remote access. Meaning I would have to go back 
in the lab to run the tests. However, they told me that you remote folks 
could generate the test scripts that I should run if you wanted. The 
WebLoad tool has a script building utility to help you devise custom client 
behavior and how many connections should be made. The demo version of 
WebLoad at http://www.radview.com/download/index.asp is sufficient for 
building these scripts. They have a license for upto 300 connections, so we 
could simulate 300 simultaneous clients with customized usage behavior. 
WebLoad would gather data and present a detailed report including graphs. 
If you like you could describe to me the type of test you would like and I 
could create the script for it and send it to you for review and to make 
changes if needed. I of course, would have to send you the results of the 
tests as well. This might be the most productive solution since I would 
have direct access to several people in the lab that are proficient WebLoad 
users.

Let me know if this sounds like a workable solution so I can make 
arrangements on my end as soon as possible.

Thanks.
