I'll have to look into it.

Not just 'automation' in your definition. I am hitting a database on the
backend and I want to know if my hardware/database/schema/index setup can
handle the load. I cannot test this by telling 500 instances of a tool to
login as the same user and execute the same test. As this is a data entry
app, all users need to do seemingly random things. If all 500 test
instances go for the same page, the DB query will obviously be cached, and I
won't know if my DB can handle the load that my servlet engine(s) can. That
may seem backwards, but since JServ was built so beautifully (Thanks
everyone), I can linearly scale my servlet engine by adding more nodes. The
database needs to be able to keep up with that. That is what I am trying to
test. Thus the need for an 'intelligent' testing tool.
