Agreed that they should be separate applications. If I can get a decent
block of hours to develop an i-mode load testing tool I would like to see it
being able to simulate all handset models with scriptable user input
sequences.
I do want to add more handsets to i-MIMIC but this is more complex than
simply changing the i-MIMIC skin. How the device renders fonts, form and
list elements, marquees, blink tags etc. need to be tested and observed.
Device specific form elements then need to be created in Photoshop along
with all navigation and menu elements which is all together a quite time
consuming process.

This idea partitions naturally into two projects:
1. extending i-MIMIC to simulate more than
one phone;
2. scriptable multi-browser load testing,
independent of any simulator/emulator
display environment.
Doing the load testing as a separate
tool makes sense to me, but so does
providing multiple-keitai i-MIMIC, for
developers of community sites with
near-real-time interaction.
Journaling user interaction to make
scripts for load testing is another
way in which these two features
could work together: you could use
the multiple-keitai i-MIMIC to
specify the *sequence* of user
operations between two phones,
to be replayed in the same order.
Good for developing test loads,
and also for regression testing.
