Hi All,


i have a general question about Open Source CMS.


At the Time exist many sites like www.opesourcecms.com 
<http://www.opesourcecms.com/> and www.cmsmatrix.org, which helps 
someone to compare and choise a needed CMS. All the sites do compare the 
systems on their having features. But what about dynamic quality such as 
performance, scalability and stress test? Because a CMS at work will 
have many documents, images and will become slow by growing. Also is 
good to know at the start of development what is the boardline for a CMS 
is.


Do someone made some tests on popular CMS like Typo3, Mambo and Drupal? 
Is it interesting thing in professional circles?


I would do this in my diplom thesis, but i want to know that the OSCOM 
community do thing about it.


The measure tool for the test is JMeter from Jakarta Project. May be 
someone knows others?


Procedure:


  1.

     Installing CMS on Server

  2.

     Design a Testplan for JMeter

        1.

           Authentification

        2.

           Adding Listing Request and Co. for index page

        3.

           Asserting elements of the site exist.

  3.

     Run test

  4.

     Analysis of tests

  5.

     Result.


I will be happy if someone do correct my idea, may be support me in 
future questions in field analysis.


Thx for Help
