Re: Load Test Apps
We found OpenLoad to be reasonable, for a tool that could also read AMF requests, which we required since we have so many tools front ended by Flash and Flex.

Oh, shiny. I'll definitely check that out as it will make creating the tests a lot easier if it does what you describe.

Once you're satisfied with it you can export the recording to a Jmeter test xml. then redo the tests in Jmeter. So it allows you to create some complex load tests that can imitate a real world load. It also has some limited reporting capabilities. hth, larry ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
