The test scripts are downloaded to a number of second personal computers that are operated under control of the first processor to provide EFT test messages to the host system. The number of the second personal computers is selected to provide a maximum rate of providing test transactions to the host. Data collection is utilized to permit the first processor to display the host system response time to varying loads or transaction rates.
