I was able to automate testing the ball/plate system, and within a few hours should have all of the cron kinks worked out, so testing will begin in earnest soon. So it's time to write out what I plan to do.
We're testing on two cloud platforms and three client platforms, but it has already been determined that there is a limit to how many simultaneous requests we can make to the cloud platforms before we start getting forced timeouts. This means that I will be testing the client platforms one-at-a-time over the course of the next few weeks. If it's feasible, I hope to spend a week on each.
By running the 10 concurrent tests once an hour, we do not exceed the allotted free time allowed by Google App Engine (each run of 10 concurrent uses about 4% of our total time, 4 * 24 = 96). We'll cut it close, though, so if I had to guess I'd say we'll see some timeouts at the 11PM run each day. Heroku, on the other hand, will probably have no problem with this load, and so we should only see the occasional timeout.
