Hi Mike,Though I generally Use JMeter but for this case you might want to try http://www.pushtotest.com It supports selenium which can be use to run the actual browser they way a user might run.The community edition (http://www.pushtotest.com/products-comparison) let us run performance testing up-to 50 virtual users.Following is a tutorial which demonstrate its usage.Regards,

In answer to your questions.
- 25 virtual users max.
- HTTP
- No test scripts are written because they don't have automation going on right now. THOUGH, when they do plan to start automation soon, and when they do, they will be using QTP.
- This is a test setup, and it is not available through the public Internet.
- I will not be running tests through a continuous integration environment.
I know how to code some stuff AND I am the only tester doing this.
Hope that helps.
Mike

Hi Mike:
What level of load (how many virtual users) will you need to run concurrent?What interfaces (HTTP, SOAP, REST, JMS, RDBMS) does your application use?Do you already have tests written in Selenium, soapUI, Sahi, jUnit, or other language?Is your application available through the public Internet?Will you be running tests through a Continuous Integration environment?How technical are your testers? Do they know how to code?-Frank

Joel,
I'm interested in using automation that acts as multiple virtual users, instead of using machines.
The company that I am at is operating on a shoe-string budget.
So, what do you feel is the best solution?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I am just catching up on this thread, and hope a couple other thoughts might help...There are many possible solutions, but I wanted to check the application architecture. You'd mentioned it as a Windows application with .ASPX. This seems to suggest that it may be an ASP.NET web application running mostly on Windows machines? Is it rather a Windows application that calls some .NET services for part of it's feature set, or a pure Windows Forms standalone application (that may call some database functions as a client)?If it is a native Windows application, the simple approach might be workable. You could write a script using WinBatch ( http://winbatch.com/ ) or Windows Script Host ( http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/wsh_overview.mspx?mfr=true ) that does the actions you are looking for, and logs to the local machine in some easy format (csv, tsv). This log file could then be pulled into a common database for analysis with SQL queries, Excel, or pulled in to SAS, SPSS or whatever statistical analysis tool is best for your needs.You'd mentioned spawning multiple threads, and if this is a native Windows application, I'm not sure that will give you workable performance information. Running multiple instances on one machine (depending on the application) may quickly run into performance issues that are not due to the application, and more based on memory and I/O contention that would not be present in a single user application. For load testing of a Windows native application, you may want to find a way to get access to a farm of separate machines to act as clients.If you have developers and have access to source, another thought is that you could use something like NUnit to automate a set of actions and log the results.I hope this is helpful, and if this is not a native application then some of the above will not apply - in that case apologies for over-reading "windows application" as part of the mix!Best regards,Joel

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 keystrokesBasim

It is a Windows application that uses .aspx.
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
