Alex,

I've included the overview page from the Hyades URL Test help section. 
It provides a good description of the stress/load/performance 
capabilities that are available in Hyades URL Test, which is part of the 
larger Hyades Component Test functionality.

Testing browser-based applications - quick start
In addition to providing a common framework for test tools and support 
for JUnit test generation, Hyades includes features allowing you to test 
Web-based applications.

The primary purpose of the Hyades project is to provide a common 
framework for test tools, so that Eclipse-based test tools can easily 
communicate with one another and work together. As such, the primary 
users of Hyades are Eclipse test tool developers. But Hyades has an 
important secondary audience - testers of HTTP-based applications. This 
quick start describes the Web-testing tasks that you can perform with 
Hyades, without modifying the framework:

1. Recording a test
The test creation wizard starts the Hyades proxy recorder, which records 
your interactions with a browser-based application. When you stop 
recording, the wizard starts a test generator, which creates a test from 
the recorded session.

2. Editing a test
You can inspect and modify a test prior to compiling and running it.

3. Generating an executable test
Follow this procedure to generate an executable test. Before a test can 
be run, the test's Java source code must be generated and compiled. This 
process is called code generation.

4. Running a test

5. Analyzing test results
At the conclusion of a test run you see an execution history, including 
a test verdict, and you can request two graphical reports showing a page 
response time and a page hit analysis.
