How to simulate multiple users

Question

I built an App with Angular on the front end and NodeJS on the back.

The app is behaving funny when a few people are using it simultaneously.

I want to make some changes and then test it with a bunch of people, but I can't keep bugging my friends to do so.

Is there a good automated way to test how it behaves with a whole bunch of users?

Answer 1

You could use JMeter to setup concurrent users performing the same actions or different ones...

Answer 2

I suggest to check out the Selenium IDE.

Answer 3

If you needed to test complex scenarios and 250 virtual users would be sufficient, try a free version of StresStimulus.
