use sikuli to simulate multi-user volume testing.

Asked by Kevin Geiger

Can I run multiple instances of a script on a Pc to simulate multiple users? Looking for a low budget way to test infrastructure capacity for a browser based report.

Of course you can start a script multiple times on a PC, but you only have one mouse and one keyboard and maybe only one screen, so your scripts would have to share these. Depending on what you're trying to do, I don't think you can successfully run multiple executions at the same time because of this.

As mentioned before in comment #1:
if the script controls a browser session using mouse and keyboard, just running the scripts in parallel (which is indeed possible) will not work, since the instances will steel mouse and keyboard from each other and you would have to manage, to have the right browser window on top.

Looks more like a job for Selenium.

Can you help with this problem?
