Actually, I take that back. I did some quick reading and found this from Selenium's FAQ (http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/faq.html)
" Selenium Grid is not designed for performance and load testing, but very efficient web acceptance/functional testing. The main reason for this is that conducting performance/load testing with real browser is a pretty bad idea as it is hard/expensive to scale the load and the actual load is very inconsistent. For load/performance testing I would advise using tools like JMeter, Grinder or httperf. What you can do though, is reuse your selenium tests to record the use cases you will use for your load testing. If you really want to conduct load testing with Selenium, check out Browser Mob. To simulate 200 concurrent users for instance, you would need 200 concurrent browsers with a load testing framework based on Selenium Grid. Even if you use Firefox on Linux (so the most efficient setup) you will probably need at least 10 machines to generate that kind of load. Quite insane when JMeter/Grinder/httperf can generate the same kind of load with a single machine. " On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Kurtis Mullins <kurtis.mull...@gmail.com>wrote: > No problem!
