Planets Testbed
Various Authors, JISC, March 2, 2010.

This is a very interesting project, a service that will test your repository implementation. It's a bit hard to wrap your head around at first (at least it was for me) but basically you give it the URL of the services you want to test and the list of files you want to test it with, and it will act like a user, executing the services, and will return a bunch of metrics. "Each of your selected input files will be passed through the services you have selected and a variety of service and server-level statistics that can be automatically measured will be logged in the system." [ref] Which is a great idea, really. The service is brand new and has just opened for public beta.
