A Methodology for Web Load Testing (zopemafia)

Zopemafia has an article by Chris M. on web site load testing. "Everybody seems to want their software to work at high load, but when you get down to it, nobody is really willing to pay the price to know that it will work under extreme load. But here's to hoping. The methodology I provide here might reduce confusion about what it means to do web load testing. Maybe if through some kind of methodology people have a clear idea of what load testing will accomplish (and what it won't), it will become an easier sell."
