Products: Citrix Server Test Kit

The Citrix Server Test Kit (CSTK) is an automated tool that can be used by administrators of Citrix servers to configure and run various user load combinations. This utility is free for download on the CDN Web site (www.citrix.com/cdn) and is supported (like all other Citrix products) for those who have a valid support agreement.

Introduction

The Citrix Server Test Kit (CSTK) is an automated tool that can be used by administrators of Citrix servers to
configure and run various user load combinations.

The CSTK allows a Citrix administrator to simulate various user loads by using application simulation scripts.
The scripts simulate various usages of typical software applications and run without any user interaction.

The advantages of the CSTK include:

• Multiple sessions can be connected from a single client machine.

• When the client sessions are connected, the entire test can be administered from the server console.

• Without the need for human testers, the CSTK allows the same tests to be run time and again in a
deterministic manner.

This provides consistent results with reproducible performance data.

This release of the CSTK supports US English only.

For more information about this CSTK, refer to the documentation that is installed with the CSTK. The
documentation is available as a printable Adobe Acrobat .pdf file. Adobe Acrobat can be downloaded for
free at www.Adobe.com.

System Requirements

To run the Citrix Server Test Kit, you need the following components:

• A Citrix server

• Client machines

• Applications used by the test scripts

Servers

The CSTK must be installed on one of the following Citrix platforms:

• MetaFrame 1.0 with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

• MetaFrame 1.8 with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

• WinFrame 1.7 with Service Pack 5B

• WinFrame 1.8

Clients

The number of required client machines depends on the number of users participating in a particular load test.
Each client machine must have the Citrix ICA Client installed.

NOTE: All versions of the ICA Client are supported.

Depending on the hardware and ICA Client type, one or more ICA sessions can be launched from a single
client machine. Assuming adequate CPU power, a single Win32 ICA Client connection typically requires 8MB
of RAM plus 5MB of RAM per client session.

Installing the CSTK

For installation instructions, see the documentation provided on the CSTK CD-ROM.

DISCLAIMER:

None of this has anything to do with us, someone else is responsible for the entire thing, and we have no idea who or why. We do not know anything about it. It may be alien life forms for all we know: we haven't a clue. You cannot blame us for anything that may result from your visit. That was entirely your own personal choice, made by you of your own volition, and without our knowledge. We do not, after all, have any control over you and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be expected to accept or acknowledge, be it legally or morally, any accountability for decisions made by you on an independent basis, utilizing your own free will, and without our intervention. We are therefore in no way, shape, or form answerable to anyone for any consequences arising from the aforementioned or indeed any other actions, similar or otherwise, because it was not us that did, or did not do anything. It is not even remotely our fault, and we are in no way prepared or willing to accept any liability, not even slightly, ever. We are, in fact completely and utterly blameless, in that it is definitely not our concern, and no blame can possibly be laid at our doorstep, even if we had one, the possession of which we hereby reserve as being entirely our own free choice. The onus is not on us at all, and furthermore, never has been. The entire matter is wholly beyond our control, and completely out of our hands, each of which are washed scrupulously clean of the whole business. We are not accountable for anything at all, and we hereby categorically deny all responsibility for all that has ever, or will ever happen. Our innocence is therefore wholly beyond doubt and absolutely unimpeachable, and so cannot, under even the remotest or unlikeliest circumstances, be brought into question. By clicking either on a link on this site, clicking on a link that leads to this site, or by arriving at this site by natural or supernatural means, you are in effect accepting responsibility for the fact that it is all entirely your own fault, down to the most miniscule detail, and that you are wholly accountable for whatever outcome may arise as a consequence of the aforementioned action or actions insofar as they were undertaken personally by you on an entirely voluntary basis and without any persuasion, coercion or influence from any party or parties other than yourself. Don't come sniveling to us, we are only figments of your imagination. I also agree that if I am ever with a contributor to this website during mealtimes I agree to pay for any super-sizing of their meal, or at least a nice dessert or one of those foo-foo drinks with an umbrella or a monkey. By admitting to have seen the worthless spineless drivel on this website (also known as content)

I Agree Wholeheartedly and Without Reservation to the above. (Except maybe for that part about the monkey.)

All Your Base Are Belong To Us.

No. Really, I do agree.
