Reference Web Implementation

[Peter Laurens <pe...@googlemail.com>]

Hi JMeter Users,

I am looking for a freely available 'reference' or 'standard' website/ 
web-application implementation for testing purposes. That is, a set  
of web pages, complete with images, forms, perhaps some PHP or other  
middleware processing that make up what might be considered a  
'standard' website that could be found in the wild, with a minimum of  
idiosyncrasy, a typical example might be a generic 'bookstore' website.

The purpose is to have a 'reference' site implementation against  
which I can test (a) different stress techniques, and (b) different  
hardware configurations, and make some generalisations about how they  
perform.

I am aware that the web is a wide and varied technology, and so any  
'reference' site will not be representative of all other sites, but  
please don't worry too much, this work is research-based, and so this  
doesn't matter so much at this point. I can always expand/build a  
library of reference implementations of sites of different types later.

SPEC (http://www.spec.org/) tests are mostly based on reference  
implementations, but they are not free, costing around $200+ for an  
educational version. I'm after something like that, but open.

Does anyone have any idea where to find such things, or perhaps it  
might be useful to build a library of things like this myself?

Many thanks for your time,

- Peter
