Hi dear community!

I’m a new member from Germany 🙂 So don’t be angry with me, when  
sometimes my english sounds terrible.

Currently I’m working on a huge project, a web application, which is  
coded with Ruby on Rails. My request to you is how can I do a stress  
test, so I can see how this web application behaves when e.g. 100  
persons are online.

I found a commercial software (Scapa StressTest) and an open-source  
Project for Eclipse (hyades), but I don’t see how it will works.

Regards from Paderborn
