In the construction and maintenance of a time-shared computer system the need arises for a tool which can provide a controlled, repeatable environment for the purpose of making performance measurements. This thesis describes the use of a small second computer to simulate the actions of multiple interactive users over individual communication lines. Each simulated user exhibits responses similar to those of a "normal" interactive user.
