Hi Mike

If you evaluating the perceived end user response times by simulating the http request then Jmeter is an open source tool that can do that

It's a combination of mouse clicks and keystrokes.

I'm looking for something similar to Load Runner, where multiple threads can be spawned that emulate users doing different things with the application, repetitively.

although i haven't done this before i would investigate watir + autoit (for keystrokes) and watirgrid (for the synchronizing), the caveat is that you have to start up a number of slave machines for the number of users to simulate

My question to you is why the requirement for keystrokes

Does that answer your question?

Hi,

Is there an open source load tool that will emulate a small amount of users (25-50) entering a series of keystrokes?

Thanks,

Mike
