How to simulate multiple users

Question

I built an App with Angular on the front end and NodeJS on the back.

The app is behaving funny when a few people are using it simultaneously.

I want to make some changes and then test it with a bunch of people, but I can't keep bugging my friends to do so.

Is there a good automated way to test how it behaves with a whole bunch of users?

You could use JMeter to setup concurrent users performing the same actions or different ones...

If you needed to test complex scenarios and 250 virtual users would be sufficient, try a free version of StresStimulus.

Yes, it will work with NodeJS. It works with any server framework due to its proprietary autocorrelation. When it replays a recorded scenario, the server cannot distinguish that requests come not from a physical client, but from virtual users. Additionally it has a powerful test designer that makes it easy to parameterize complex application scenarios without manual scripting. If you are interested to consider a commercial version, a free trial includes a support session where our engineers help to make your test work. it is available here https://www.stresstimulus.com/trials/request-trial – Vadim Kleyzit Jun 28 '15 at 20:19

I suggest to check out the Selenium IDE.
