What tools and methods do you use for software testing?
jimb: We have Hudson running continuous tests on svn checkins.  Which is unit tests and some other tests run through junit and junitperf etc, sort of functional testing.We then also do full build performance tests using the grinder at night.  This is currently not very automated at all, and involves doing processing in the morning.  These are short runs, multiple samples averaged.  It would be good to know how others are running there performance testing automatically, and also how they are monitoring the systems during the exact times of the test.We also prior to release run some serious stress testing, again using grinder.  Then soak tests using grinder at expected load for 1 week.  This gives us the data we need for a release.
