I've improved the configuration of the stress framework. See https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/aop/trunk/aop/src/test/org/j... for available properties. It now consists of several levels, if found at a given level it will use that value, otherwise it will hit the next level. The levels are: 1) System Properties, i.e. -Dwarmup=500 2) Single Test configuration, e.g. src/resources/test/stress/simple/SimpleReflectToJavassistTestCase_testException.properties would configure properties for just that test 3) TestCase configuration, e.g. src/resources/test/stress/simple/SimpleReflectToJavassistTestCase.properties would configure defauls for all tests within that test case 4) Global stress defaults, configured in src/resources/test/stress/config.properties https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/aop/trunk/aop/src/resources/... 5) Hardcoded default values in DefaultScenarioPropertyReader View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4064592#...
