That is heavily dependent on the architecture of your application but, architecture permitting, this is why you need to have different types of tests.

Hello Bill, Apache::Test is great. What kind of testing are you looking to do? Apache::Test is for testing your code (unit tests) and JMeter is for load testing your application / infrastructure (in my organization we classify this under UAT which the developers don't do). I agree with Mark tha
