Hello .

I am considering to do load test on kibana by creating multiple sessions , perhaps up to 50 sessions simultaneously.  
Example operations will be,

1. Login
2. Open Dashboard or Open Discovery with certain saved search

and see the total _Request Duration_ .

Is [selenium](http://www.seleniumhq.org/) the right tool to use or is there any test tools provided by elastic that I could use?

Any advice will be appreciated!

The Kibana development team uses LeadFoot: [https://github.com/theintern/leadfoot](https://github.com/theintern/leadfoot) which is a JS library that wraps Selenium. It's not provided by Elastic, just used as a test dependency.

You can find how the tools are used in the GitHub repo: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/test/functional](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/test/functional)
