Ive looked around at the various tools for load testing etc but i need something a bit more specific. Something like cucumber and httperv mixed together. What i would like to do is write some cucumber specs for filling in various forms in my application but simulate say 20 users doing this simultaneously. Are there any specific tools out there or hacks to create something like this?
First of all, running load testing on different methods or a whole scenario is a waste of time, since it doesn't give you any indication on which method is underperforming under high server load. Also, filling in forms using Selenium (or just simulating it using Cucumber) will also yield unreliable results (running the code that has nothing to do with the actual server also takes time). What you want is targetted performance tests on one particular form url, which automatically brings us back to httperf.
If you are looking for load testing with form data, httperf supports this. Just google "httperf post data" and you'll get plenty of information. Yes, the way to do it is awful, a nice wrapper around it would be nice.
