[rspec-users] user stories for load testing?

[Bryan Helmkamp]

Hi Rick,

We're very interested in doing this at weplay (where I work). I've
started refactoring webrat to support pluggable adapters, which I see
being Rails, Merb (coming soon), and (most relevant to this)
WWW::Mechanize.

So far I just have it able to make HTTP requests, but there seem to be
some issues. You can see what I've got at:

Would be interested if others are interested in exploring this, what
their ideal usage might be, etc.

Cheers,

-Bryan
