ECP load testing

[Tompkins,Charles R]

I just wanted to follow-up and thank foo and the list for the help. 

I was able to take foo's post and build a SOAP request in jmeter, works
well.  The only thing that I would add is that to get the issue instant
right, I defined the request's "IssueInstant" as:
 ${__javaScript(var z=new Date(); $DATE=z.toISOString();,DATE)}



Regards,
-Charles

I always forget people are often talking about Office 365, which is
technically ECP but means really a whole different kind of use case.

You can assume that ECP requests are going to be essentially the same cost
to process as any other login, usually a bit less. So it's not really
about ECP, but your overall traffic load and what that increase will be
from the mail clients. But for load testing purposes, just hammering the
regular endpoints at that expected load should be good enough.
