Some notes on Slim (getting started)

To use Slim instead of Fit, you need to define Slim as the test system

• !define TEST_SYSTEM {slim}

Symbols

• $name= sets the symbol
• $name uses the symbol
• $name= also in script tables as first cell$

Decision Tables (aka Slim Column fixture)

• Check/Check not – value test pass/fail
• Ensure/Reject - bool test pass/fail
• Note - comment
• Show – display result
• Start – sets up a different system under test
• Optional constructor arguments after class name
  

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.
