Hi Ryan, welcome to Webtest. I fear that it will be too expensive for you if you want to hire all peoples from the Canoo company to test your application (and I doubt that they are all available) ;-) Concerning webtest: - it is not the right tool for load testing: you won't be able to simulate more than a few users surfing simultaneously on the applcation. - the javascript support is quite good and improves continuously. If you look at the mailing list about javascript problems, you will see that they normally get fixed or that nothing happens because users don't provide the required information to understand what is going wrong. Concerning AJAX, there is currently a limitation on the usage of responseXML: the response is correctly retrieved and parsed but not correctly "wrapped" for use in javascript. This is probably not complicate to fix but nobody has taken the time to do it until now.
