How many users are going to be mashing on the keyboard at once here?

I mean what do you mean by load testing for your application. Is there a particular part of your application that could be a bottleneck? "Load testing" usually implies that under operating conditions there will be a great demand on your application, at least at times. Where do you see that applying to yours?

stand alone application, isnt it supposed to be one application per computer?or do u mean alot of people are accessing something else at the back end of ur application (e.g a database server) and u need to do load testing.?

yes..we have a request sent to an HTTP server, which we now changed to a secure HTTPS server. There can be multiple requests at the same time (Say, upto 10000). There may be a performance decline in case of HTTPS. Inorder to test that, we have set up a local SSL server and written a test client pgm to connect to that server via HTTPS. So we want to send multiple requests to the server at the same time for testing that. Hope u got the scenario...

Okay but now you are talking about load testing the server really.

yes..you can say so...but we want to access the server through my client..b'coz we want to test the delay in establishing the connection, if any, too..
