This plugin generates test users for your Elgg installation. Depending on options provided by the
administrator, generated users will have custom profile icons, friend relationships, messages sent
to each others, blogs, uploaded contents, and comments on blog entries and uploaded content.

This plugin should never, under any circumstances, be used on a live site already
having real users and an active community. If anything goes wrong during user generation,
there can – and probably will – be inconsistencies in the Elgg database (not to mention that you
probably don’t want fake users mixed with your real ones in a single installation). Worst case
scenario, you might have to drop the whole database and install a new, empty Elgg
database from scratch. You’ve been warned.

New feature: As of version 0.91 beta, the plugin comes with JMeter integration. JMeter, in a
nutshell, is a great open source application, that will allow you to test your site under pressure.
This means you can unleash any number of your generated users onto your website
simultaneously and have them perform different kind of activities. They will log in, read their
messages, upload new files, post comments on blog entries, and do a lot more, just like real
users would do. While your fake users do their activities, you can check your server’s load,
average response times, deviations and other indicators. All that will help you to scale your
server(s) properly for a real-life environment.

Before enabling and using this plugin on your site, please please please read the enclosed manual (docs/manual.pdf).  Especially the "Warnings" and the "Direct database manipulation" sections.

You can check out the results of running this plugin with the default parameters at http://elgg.skawa.hu
