Re: [OpenSTA-users] Load testing best practices

[robi s. <ro...@gm...>]

This is a pretty good link and a pretty good discussion on a high
level of testing but I was hoping for something that was more detailed
that, for example, might talk about things the difference between
testing a system cold (where you just hit it with some test) as
opposed to ramping it up and why you might do one or the other.  Doing
things like maybe making sure to cycle the server between tests where
your changing, for example, JVM settings or threading settings etc.
Thats probably way to specific but I am looking more for links I can
point to as further reading for links I can use to back up my own
testing assertions or if need be ones that refute my assertions so I
make sure to represent reasonable accepted best practices :-)

Once again thanks for the link though its appreciated and ill probably
included it in a slide of references.
