App-level testing and heap sizing parameters

[Jordi Salvat i Alabart <js...@atg.com>]

Hi.

The arguments we currently have in bin/jmeter.sh are about as bad as 
they could possibly be. I will now put some which will be better in 100% 
(or more) of cases, but which will still probably be sub-optimal in just 
as many occasions.

In order to establish reasonable values --that is, values which are 
close to optimal for at least one real-life[ish] situation, we would 
need a reasonably complex test script to run and a set of pages for it 
to hit.

Such pages and test script(s) could also serve as functional app-level 
tests. We currently have some unit tests (definitely not enough), but 
there are certain features which are extremely difficult to test at the 
unit level.

I propose that we start building such app-level tests. Ideas on how to 
harness them beyond a readme file with instructions?

I have some static pages + apache config files that can serve as a start 
for that -- I just need a suggestion for a path where I should place 
them in CVS.

Salut,

Jordi.
