how do I load test a flash application

Question

Does anyone know a good tool (commercial or free) for stress testing flash applications?

Answer 1

Flash Selenium may be what you're looking for. It's more for unit and acceptance testing rather than stress testing. I think for stress testing you want to use JMeter and simulate the server calls from the Flash application.

Answer 2

If you can get Flash Selenium to work (as Michael Glenn suggested), I'd also recommend you check out my company, BrowserMob, which provides load testing with real browsers. The browsers are powered by Selenium and, since they are real browsers, run Flash exactly like you'd expect they would.

Answer 3

You might be able to do that with Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool or Borland SilkPerformer.

You might want to take a look how Adobe is doing their stress testing.
