Re: Testing your sites - How do you?

By far the best tool I've ever used.  It's not entirely intuitive, but 
that's partly because it's so sophisticated.  It allows you to record 
and modify scripts, and modify the entry fields using hard-coded data or 
tell it to use data sent from the server (crucial for session IDs and so 
on), and then replay the whole thing.

It's also a full-blown load testing tool, allowing you to easily add 
dozens or even hundreds of users, recording response times and graphing 
it and all that good stuff.  But the script recording and automation is 
what you need, and nobody does it better.
