Java Based Load/Stress Testing software, on the lines of Mercury Interactive 
LoadRunnner. Currently I\'m am working on implementing a system for testing 
curses based applications via telent emulators, using the JTA ( Java Telnet 
Applet ) package.I would like to start this as an open project so that other 
developers can join in and expand the system to include GUI and web-based 
application testing.

To give a background about the project. The software I am trying to build will 
consist of a controller, distributed launchers and individual drones ( sorry 
about the startrek analogy. ). The drones use a telnet based gateway to 
simulate user interaction with charecter based user or commend line interfaces. 
I have only written the objects for telnet based applications but the frmaework 
can be used with anyother interface by writing additional plugins. The drones 
simulate the user responses and measure the response times and pass this 
information to be collected and analyzed.

I am fully aware of the Free Software ideology and am infact a part of the GNUe 
project. You can verify this as my name is listed on the GNUe Project Team. ( 
Subhabrata Ghosh ). So rest assured that there is no commercial implication to 
this intiative. I have been using LoadRunner and found it lacking in a lot of 
features and am pissed with their product and support so I decided to start 
this work. I intend to release all the source code I have written so far ( and 
in the future ) as Copyleft\'ed software.
