More Information
If you are new to performance testing and/or Faban, know
that there is a learning curve. Although it is easy enough
to setup and run workloads created by others, creating
complex workloads does take work. If you stick with it, you
will be rewarded with a very powerful, robust and accurate
framework that you can use for years to come.
