There are already various people testing LTP. It would be better if you could test what you would normally do (e.g. data base loads or whatever) because the "real world coverage" is a bit more lacking. > 2) Some small hints to get it very effective? If you want to test LTP better concentrate less on the standard functional runs, but more on the stress tests to test your particular drivers etc. Often they have to be invoked manually. -Andi
