Load Testing for Banner, Luminis, and other services

We are just getting into a Banner implementation project. We have been talking with various SunGard and Luminis experts about getting things going. So far the Luminis expert has recommended RadView - Web Load for load testing Luminis and earlier (I can't remember which function) Mercury Load Runner was suggested. We also want to load test our LMS on campus.

Any suggestions on what load testing software could be used for all these scenarios and others on campus. We would like to just invest in one tool and use it in many applications. Any suggestions would be appreciated.......

WAPT

We just bought WAPT. (http://www.loadtestingtool.com/)

They have a free trial version. And the full version is very reasonably priced. So far, it's quite nice. Easy to use, and very nice reports/graphs.

Sample?

Can you post a sample screenshot of some results?

Do you have a testing script for Luminis already developed?

Thanks,
Todd

load test script

It doesn't work that way. What you do is create user profiles by recording a session of activity in luminis. It records the pages you navigate to, and also records any posted data you send (ie, user name and password for logging in). You can then either record more individual profiles or use the same profile and vary the frequency that it is used. You can also offset the sessions by random times between "clicks", and do other things to give it more realistic usage.

So, it would be impossible to exchange scripts, as we have different systems. But, again, it's free to try. The only limitation besides being 30 days, is that you can only use up to 20 simultaneous users.
