JMeter does not instantiate and control a web-browser. JMeter is a great
tool for *simulating* the effect of a browser (or hundreds of browsers)
hitting your webserver. JMeter also has a built-in proxy server which
you can connect to with your browser - this helps automate the creation
of "test scripts".
If you want to load test with direct control of a browser directly, such
a setup may work:
1. Setup a test client with VNC server loaded
2. Connect to it, use rfbproxy to record your "test script"
http://cyberelk.net/tim/rfbproxy/
3. Now use rfbmacro to play back the test script
http://cyberelk.net/tim/rfbplaymacro/
4. To scale up for load testing, either use idle machines running VNC
server
...or (more likely) setup multiple of VMware-style virtual machines
on a few servers and use them.
You should be able to instantiate multiple separate browser sessions in
the same desktop session by using COM or DCOP or similar
desktop-component architecture to control a browser programmatically.
One day, when I have some more time (and skills), I hope to complete a
JMeter "VNC proxy" component that implements rfbproxy-like functionality
(kind of like how the JMeter HTTP proxy automatically creates test
scripts, but with VNC protocol).
