Its testing loop probably has too high overheat to efficiently test static content (when building HTTP response and anylizing HTTP request takes more time than web server spends on serving the request you simply cannot load the server; at least with single thread/process) but testing of dynamic content should be possible. Paul Hamingson wrote me once that his team was succesfully using HTTP-WebTest for load testing and *cough* he promised to describe his experience when he will have free time *cough*. Ed was correct when he said that HTTP-WebTest neither have builtin support for concurrent testing (i.e. running several requests concurrently) not have builtin support for nice reporting and statistical analysis. It can build on top of HTTP-WebTest using some Perl modules but it takes some time. -- Ilya Martynov, il...@ip...
