[Building Sakai] Sakai CLE Automated Live Tool Testing?

[Bryan Holladay]

I've created a jmeter script that will do this (sponsered by Universiteit Van Amsterdam).  I can share it with you, but you would have to do the extra work to automate it and have it send email notificaitons.

Otherwise, I know there has been some work in Grinder to automate testing at:

https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/sakaigrinder/trunk/

It may not be feature complete, but you can use the examples to learn how to login and go to sakai tools.

(i.e. 

https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/sakaigrinder/trunk/projects/oncScreenNoise.py 

-This just loads specific tool links and logs in X number of users.  
-You can ignore the userIdMapONC.txt file and just hard code the username and pw in the login function
)

Thanks,
Bryan
