[ptt-users] XML-RPC record/playback

[Frank Cohen]

Hi Alec: Thanks for buying my book. (BTW, I just finished a second  
book and the manuscript is available for download for the next few  
weeks at http://www.xquerynow.com/thebook.)

XSTest as it comes in the open-source distribution instantiates the  
same TestCase for each concurrently running thread. To achieve what  
you're looking for please modify the StartTest method in the  
master.py script to instantiate a proportional amount of different  
TestCases to simulate multiple clients running. This is a feature of  
TestMaker Platform, the commercial version of TestMaker. Details  
found at http://downloads.pushtotest.com/TestMakerPlatform.pdf

Adding this capability to master.py is not really that difficult and  
I'd be happy to help you do so.

-Frank
