True, but i could set up scripts to run on different computers, say at most 15-20 scenarios for each machine on a total of 30 machines and get performance metrics out of web server. Do you think that is even a good start?

You could generate some load, but you would have Internet Explorer instances using a lot of resources on your test machines. Not using a browser and sending HTTP requests doesn't require the resources that multiple IE instances would, so you can generate more simulated load.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Load Testing with Watir?

Anyone here ever tried to create scripts that could be used for load testing?

What are the Con's of such approach? Would it be any effective at all in your opinion?
