A similar question was already asked ( Performing a Stress Test on Web Application?), but I'd like to test a web application that prevents double-submits and takes some counter-XSRF actions and therefore REQUIRES JavaScripts to be evaluated.

Has anybody done stress tests with web apps that require (and use) JS and any experience to share?

jMeter wouldn't work I guess...

Thanks!

Watir?

Watir is a simple open-source library for automating web browsers. Watir drives browsers the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms, presses buttons. Watir also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page.

It drives Internet Explorer, but is also functional with Firefox (and Safari to some extent).
