Load Test Framework Ripplet 0.8.1 Beta Released

The Ripplet team have released a beta of version 0.8.1 of their open source load test framework for Mac.

Ripplet aims to provide a platform, protocol and deployment independent environment for illustrating test design and outlining load description; controlling realistic performance loads; and diagnosing performance spikes and bottlenecks. Supported protocols include Java/BeanShell Call on Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Database Connectivity, RMI and Java Management Extensions. Ripplet is backend database independent.

This beta features a number of bug fixes, and introduces a HTTP recorder to build test plan via HTTP proxy based recorder, and a regular expression extractor tool to aid data retrieval. Scripting interfaces have also been added to data collector tools.
