I am a newbie when it comes to Java. But I may run some tests here. One of the tests I could make is running jmeter, which is the software I am currently using. If it does generate the graphics we need, that would be OK for us. But I agree that would not be complete coverage. Is running the test suites in the package enough? Thanks, Cascardo.
