Thanks for the reply! I'm looking for how to script out performance tests more than how to performance tune. I'd like to see how the application handles certain loads (number of users).
Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to accomplish this due to the nature of the Agentry protocol. Your best option right now will be to the standalone ATE scripting (using WinCE platform most likely) which has some stability issues. The other option would be to find a testing tool that can simulate user interaction and then most likely scale it out using VMs to the number of users you want to test.
Just as a quick follow-up question, can you initiate actions directly in the test scripts? A lot of the interaction in my application is dependent upon an OpenUI control so it won't work in the ATE. I mainly want to initiate actions and measure the response time.
The scripts simulate the user interactions so no direct running of actions. You would have to create temporary buttons to call the actions and then script pressing the buttons.
