Overview<br />
While GUI-based load testing presents a number of challenges, it can be<br />
rewarding as it offers the opportunity to closely simulate a real user experience.<br />
GUI-based load testing through <strong>SilkPerformer</strong> involves applying load to<br />
applications by simulating the terminal services protocol.<br />
At least two physical computers are required to perform a load test via <strong>Citrix</strong>::<br />
one computer runs the terminal services environment and the application under<br />
test (AUT); the other computer runs <strong>SilkPerformer</strong> and the <strong>Citrix</strong> client<br />
software.<br />
