Tool - Flashmob (simulated load testing)

Just came across the site Flashmob, which is an interesting and easy looking load testing tool.

Basically, you can setup a number of virtual users to run scripts which simulate browser usage on a site. Flashmob uses Selenium to drive the user navigation. You can simply record selenium scripts using Selenium IDE then upload the scripts to flashmob, configure the number of users, usage patterns etc. and click Run.

The testing reports are also very detailed, and include usage graphs with failure numbers, and also links screenshots at the point of failure.

Looks very promising, but it's not free - you will get $100 worth of free credit just for signing up though.
