Abstract
Computer apparatus, method and system for developing, in an existing protocol, load tests of a computing system. The invention includes a kernel that provides a plurality of core actions for use in a subject load test script. Core actions employed in the subject load test script are implemented as respective kernel actions written in an object-oriented programming language underlying the existing protocol. An execution engine applies the subject load test script to a number of test clients. The execution engine schedules for execution and executes the kernel actions in a manner that utilizes a relatively small number of resources as compared to the number of test clients. An extender extends the protocol (e.g., extends the base classes of the protocol and/or adds features to the protocol), and the invention adds corresponding references to the subject load test script accordingly.
