Abstract: A method and system using one or more load cells coordinates load testing of one or more sites under test over a network such as the Internet in accordance with one or more load test requests. In one embodiment, such method and system facilitates an economic, efficient, and accurate evaluation of the capacity of the SUTs to support concurrent users of the SUTs. A load test request is received from a User and provides information concerning a load test to be performed on a site under test (SUT). A load test is generated, and the load test is allocated to one or more load cells. The load cells perform the load test by sending load test data to the SUT and receiving responses from the SUT. Portions of a load test may be allocated to different load cells, which may be geographically remote from the SUT and/or geographically diverse. Multiple concurrent pending load tests may be processed for the same SUT.
