Hey,

I have several web services I need to create for them some testing mechanism and to use it as a tool for stress testing.

What's the best way to tackle this?

Use a tool for the purpose, like The Grinder

@Yarin Miran, not that I know of. But the use of the word framework may be confusing you a bit. It is a framework, but it comes with a scriptable GUI that you can directly use (requiring only the JVM) to stress test your web services. The scripting (in Jython) is useful if you want to test on ...
