Pounder - Automated Java GUI Performance Testing
Pounder is not our own tool. Pounder is a great open-source GUI testing tool developed by Matthew Pekar. Our work has shown Pounder to be the most appropriate tool for Java GUI performance testing. We have started contributing improvements to Pounder to overcome some of its limitations.

Our contributions are available in the CVS head of Pounder on SourceForge.
