Automated test tools

Does anyone have experience of automated test tools with Jade, especially for regression testing?

I am familiar with the JTD load test framework, I was specifically interested in 3rd party products in the space occupied by loadrunner, etc.

I have recently tried in vain to get both Mercury Loadrunner and Compuware tools to work over a thin client. Loadrunner will record traffic at the winsock layer but because the messages between the client and appserver are not the same or in the same order every time then the testing script created by loadrunner will not work. Compuware hits the same problem. The only way you will get these tools to work with Jade is either over web sessions or by using citrix.

I have had to resort to the Jade performance schemas which are far from ideal for my purposes and will mean that the time and resource I will have to spend on stress/performance testing will now run into weeks and months rather than days.

Good Luck
