              execution framework.
            
            Faban is used in performance, scalability and load
              testing of almost any type of server application. If the
              application accepts requests on a network, Faban can
              measure it.

          If you are new to performance testing and/or Faban, know
            that there is a learning curve. Although it is easy enough
            to setup and run workloads created by others, creating
            complex workloads does take work. If you stick with it, you
            will be rewarded with a very powerful, robust and accurate
            framework that you can use for years to come.
