Maybe we should pass that information along to Kathleen Sebelius. :-)

I seriously doubt it would do much good.  I had a wife like her for 17 
years.  She carried that famous 2 line sign about the boss is always right.
When she left, I bought a 6 pack to celebrate.  I could finally be right in 
my own house.  Even if I was wrong.

Cheers, Gene

how to load test a web app?

2013-11-01 Thread Albert-Jan Roskam
Hi,

I am looking at three Github-like programs (Stash, Gitbucket and Trac) to see 
if they could be used in our company. I would like to test the reliability and 
stability of at least one of them (I won't do any tests if some required 
functionality is missing). 

I am curious whether the program will crash under certain circumstances (e.g. 
multiple users checking code at *exactly* the same moment). What approach could 
I follow here? Though this does not *necessarily* have to involve Python, I 
would prefer this. The way I see it, it would carry out certain common usage 
patterns many times to simulate many users. I thought about using 
mechanize/subprocess, the multimechanize package, or the twill package.

Very curious to hear your thoughts about this and I hope this is not too vague. 
Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Albert-Jan
