We've been successfully using locust for automated performance and load tests for a couple of years now. Locust is very flexible, the community is great and python-based test implementations are big win for engaging our quality engineers in test design and implementation.

Since our platform (Appian[0]) has a pretty heavy/complex client, we built a thin abstraction library [1] to empower both our quality engineers as well as some of our more advanced customers to write simple automated performance tests.

Looks great, but not a fan of the licensing model! $600/year for something thats 99% open source?

I type notes in a program that allows searching. I dislike digging through 300 pages to find that one quote I liked.

How do you structure your notes? I do the same, but I am often conflicted whether to take notes by chapter/section or by topic.

I have fond memories working on an interactive visualization on a MS Surface table using this data. Great to see TOL still being used!

What an amazing effort. In case someone local wants to join in:

The warehouse is located in Finksburg, MD, about 30 miles northwest of Baltimore.

I and many others spent basically all day there yesterday. It's fun to look through all of these manuals. It takes a lot of concentration picking out the unique copies and leaving the many copies behind. Especially HP.. arg so, so many revisions of the same manual.
