Re: [Firebird-test] Stress Testing Firebird

[Luis F. <lou...@no...>]

I would be interested in participating. I am trying to get TCS installed
on my Linux box. I would be great is a tool existed written Delphi that
allows the scripts to be store and executed from along with a way of
checking results and timing them. 

I think what is needed is an overall plan detailing what kings of tests
are needed or a pre-defined database with wich to test against. That way
new tests can be created against a known DB.
