A similar question was already asked ( Performing a Stress Test on Web Application?), but I'd like to test a web application that prevents double-submits and takes some counter-XSRF actions and therefore REQUIRES JavaScripts to be evaluated.
Has anybody done stress tests with web apps that require (and use) JS and any experience to share?
jMeter wouldn't work I guess...
Thanks!

JMeter is the most popular open-source tool in the performance space to help measure load time. Apache JMeter describes itself as a Java application that was designed specifically for load testing with the ability to measure application performance and response times.
Load Testing JavaScript Applications with LoadView LoadView is a fully managed, cloud-based load testing platform, allowing users to test the performance of websites, web applications, APIs, streaming media, and more.
Watir?
Watir is a simple open-source library for automating web browsers. Watir drives browsers the same way people do. It clicks links, fills in forms, presses buttons. Watir also checks results, such as whether expected text appears on the page.
It drives Internet Explorer, but is also functional with Firefox (and Safari to some extent).

The problem with Watir and Selenium RC or any other full browser solution is that they need a full browser :P
Browsers are very expensive to run, often requiring 300MB or more of RAM. Multiply those requirements by even 100 and you need massive hardware. Fortunately, there is a solution: I recently started a company that does exactly what you're looking for.
