RT3 testing suites?

Heya all.

Ok, so the time has come that I really need to start getting some
quantifiable proof that RT3 is going to be fast enough for our
environment, so starting to look into some automated/semi-automated
testing. Specifically what I’m after is something that can emulate
multiple (probably upto about 20) clients hitting various parts of the
RT3 UI.

Now, I’d guess this is something that has probably been done before, so
rather than re-inventing the wheel, wondering if anyone has suggestions?
It shouldn’t be too difficult to build a spider using libwww to crawl
around RT3 for testing, has anyone already done this though?

While we’re wishing, a benchmarking suite would be lovely. I understand and
accept all the caveats about the utility of any given benchmark, but I’ve
got hunches about database performance that I could test if someone else
could do all the real work.
