Load testing for WordPress functionality

You can use a tool like loadimpact.com to generate load, include following user scripts, for a huge number of users.

However, as with anything like this, it doesn’t come free.

We’ve just used it, so far, for simple load testing of user views as that’s been our biggest issue with sites. We wrote an article about it and how to get scale at http://interconnectit.com/1254/make-wordpress-scale-on-a-budget/

Have fun and let us know how you get on.
