title: Stress-testing using Cucumber
body: <p>I'm currently writing integration tests for a RoR REST API using cucumber.</p>
  
  <p>I'd also like to stress-test the API and was wondering how I might be able to re-use my cucumber scenarios to do this.  </p>
  
  <p>I've used JMeter and httperf before for stress-tests, and of course with both tools had to write or record the tests that I wanted to include in the stress testing. Since I already have the scenarios in Cucumber that I want to test, I'm trying to avoid having to rewrite what would be largely the same scenarios in the stress-testing tool's syntax.   </p>
  
  <p>Can anybody recommend a way that I could use my cuke tests for this? Ideally, I'd like to simulate hundreds of concurrent users hitting the API.</p>
