ISDA has been looking into test tools to perform stress and load testing of web applications and web services. StressTester is one of the tools under consideration. LoadRunner, now from HP is another one of the tools being considered. LoadRunner is a market leader and even has a Wikipedia entry.
This weekend I was catching up on some blog reading and noticed that the Atlassian developer blog talked about using Selenium:
Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just like real users do. It runs in Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh, Safari on the Mac. We have plans to target Safari on the iPhone in some months.
The quickest way to learn Selenium is via a Firefox plugin called Selenium IDE. It is quite compelling for developing tests in and quickly trying out Selenium before choosing Selenium for your project.
There are two modes of operation for Selenium – Core and Remote Control (RC). Remote Control mode also has a related capability called Selenium Grid that allows you to throw hardware at tests to make it all faster.
