Distributed systems are becoming increasingly common. However, the testing of these systems is difficult due to their non-linear, stochastic and dynamic behaviours, and limited application-level testing support. In this thesis, a prototype cluster computing-based test harness has been developed that can be used for performance testing on a variety of distributed systems. Its usefulness is demonstrated through tests conducted on an example distributed system, including using the test harness to perform a parameter search on the system in an iterative fashion.
