The objectives of the paper are to: 1) introduce you to an open source stress test tool, the stress_driver, which you can use and modify in your own environment; 2) explain the benefits and limitations of a general-purpose reusable stress test tool; and 3) describe some of the implementation details involved in building a heavy-duty test driver using a scripting language.
